Would the alloy lower control arms fit a gen 2 liberty, from a gen 3?

If not which ones are the best suited?

Cheers.

Gc8 sti ones are the best if you dont want the extra track the gd ones offer....but I have a feeling the gen3 ones arent too different than the gc8 ones? If at all?

Cheers for that,
Got beaten to the gen 3 ones anyway.

Is their any benifit of the extra track of the gd ones, or will it just cause issues?

If you can use gc8 alloy control arms in a gen2 and gen3 i cant see why alloy control arms from a Gen3 wont be fine in a gen2.


GD ones gives more track at the front, i never noticed a difference but i guess if you used GD rear arms to increase track on the rear it would be beneficial at a track day.
