    Default 84 gt turbo front suspension questions

    I recently picked a 84 gt turbo that someone did a "5 lug conversion" with svo parts. It looks like they used the svo lower control arms, spindle/brakes and koni struts up front. Out back, the complete disc 7.5 rear end was swapped in with upper and lower control arms. The guy I bought the car from attempted to replace the front struts with ones for the gt. Needless to say, my drive home was a bit sketchy. So my question is, Do I simply get the correct struts for the svo spindle and keep the non-existent svo parts or do I change back to stamped lower control arms, 87-93 v8 spindle (to keep rotor and svo caliper) and struts because the geometry is jacked without the svo k member? Thanks.

    My thoughts:

    Standard foxbody front control arms
    SN95 balljoints and MM to SVO spindle adapters
    SVO spindles (retains Ackerman corrections)
    caster camber plates
    camber bolts if needed to get camber while caster maxed out but even both sides

    Make sure your inner and outer tie rod ends are in excellent condition

    Max out positive caster get even both sides (struts towards windshield)
    1/16" toe in
    1.5 negative camber degrees
