What David C said, just half an inch more width on each wheel, plus the change in the offset. I think the total track width is only 1" more.. There really aren't that many differences that can't be retro-fitted to a non-GTA car. The hub carriers are the only really different suspension component..

I don't think I'll be doing them for a while.. Its gonna be 2009 before I get around to doing the back, I think I might hold on for a warm spell too. My ex-mechanic grandad works with me and he's seventy now so I don't want him working out while its freezing, but his pride wouldn't let him sit inside while I worked out in his garage.. Some of the little 'techniques' he knows have saved me loads of time. Like splitting balljoints, freeing stuck bolts, its not about strength, technique is so much more important and I as I don't have formal training I'm learning loads from him
