    It's going fpr a decent price I think given the cost of a clean Bora 4 Mo.

    Ok It definitely has R32 front callipers on it now - does this mean it has R32 uprights or can the R callipers be fitted to 4Mo running gear?

    aye r32 brakes can fit on 4motion hubs
    if it dont have r32 hubs and wishbones you could easy fit them the ones i got didnt cost that much
    the ones i got came from a LCR I was 50 for the pair and was 55 for the two wishbones

    so not a big problem if it dont

    Ah cool.. Many thanks. :) Do the R32 uprights and wishbones change the geometry between them and the 4Mo items or are they lighter or both?

    I can see to avoid second hand R32 tax I will be spending many evenings doing alternate part selection in ETKA :lol:

    the geometry is better as the hub is extended at the bottom so the wishbone sit's flat and the steering arms are higher up plus the rod end is on top of the arm insted of being under it

    aye you get a lot of scene tax on r32 parts but if you keep a eye open you can get a few good deal's
