I've searched and read and can't seem to find what I'm looking for so I apologize if this has been covered a million times and I'm just missing it:
What parts are compatible with the Galant VR4? I've owned several DSM's before and recently picked up my first GVR4. I'm very familiar with the power plant - tuning, parts availability, informational resources, etc., but what about the rest of the car like suspension, drivetrain, electronics, etc?? Will most other parts from the standard Galant work? Perhaps the 1G? I went to NAPA for some ball joints and they don't list the Galant with a 2.0L turbo charged engine. I bought the ball joints anyway and they happened to fit. Has anyone compiled all this info in one place, or perhaps links to places?
Presently I'm looking for suspension info. I've found this: click, so clearly they aren't entirely identical, but are there any stock parts off another car that are? Will the 1G struts at least bolt into place and function ok?
What about transmission? The GVR4 that I bought has a Shep Trans which I'd kinda like to swap to my 1G and make the Galant my DD, but until I pull it, I'm not sure if it's identical (I'm familiar with the 22/ 23 spine issue on 1G's).
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!!
