I know they arn't simple drag and drop items, but does anyone know how much work it would take to convert an entire wheel hub assembly? Would it necessitate changing over the suspension? Custom brackets? The hand of god? If anyone has any insight, please do share.

Uhm I think you are going to need to supply more info, I know you and your car and even I am a bit perplexed. Are you referring to the front spindles, or the rear hub/bearing Assembly's? |

The entire assemblies for the rotors, bearings and calipers, and for both axles. Shaped kinda like a sideways "v". What I mean is the Fiero has a heavy metal assembly, which will only hold it's rotors and calipers. I was wondering if you could steal an assembly off another vehicle, along with it's brakes, bearing and all and attach it instead. Doing so would also open the door to better brakes (And even having hand brakes again) and reducing the overall weight of the vehicle. Does that help? Or should I point out the thing I mean next time I'm over? |

Ok, I understand how to ask this better: If anyone has ever read hot-rodding magazines, you'll know one of the advertisings always has frames built, and though it fits in the same way the stock one would, they typically have all Corvette components in (Suspension and brakes). Would it be possible to move those compenents in on most cars, or is that only possible with a select few vehicles?
