    Why do you need hq pattern?

    bearings are they same between the HQ and the ra65 / xt130.

    A mate has a big brake setup using hq stud pattern. Is that something you want to purchase?

    Gazza wants to know if you would like to sell your front brake setup.

    If so how much.

    Hopefully gazza is seated! To do it was alot of fab work to get it to work properly was also expensive. The front struts without the koni inserts owe me $3000. I will itemise it when I get mote time.

    Basically
    XT130 struts
    Rx7 s4 calipers widened and heavily modified to fit under 15" rims
    Braided lines
    Ds3000 ferodo pads ( fuckin awesome)
    Adapter brackets to mount caliper cnc'd
    Coilover conversion
    Springs etc
    Adj tops
    Koni inserts
    Stops on a dime

    Would I do it again... No
    Why... Too expensive
    Will I change it? Doubt it
    Does it work? Amazingly
