Hi All,

I'm new to the forum and apologise if this subject has been covered before, I've used the search function but couldn't find anything.

I'm building a track car (2003 EP3 CTR) and looking to try and move the calliper to the front of the hub to make access easier for cooling ducts from front bumper.

My plan was to swap the Hubs, uprights and calipers from LH to RH side. Does anyone know if this is feasible? I'm unsure whether the geometry between lower balljoint and suspension pickup in equal side to side and worried it may give me some weird alignment issues.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

I plan to do this when I fit my brembo calipers. Yes it's a straight swap as far as I know. Backyard civics make a cooling duct back plate if that's any use to you?
