ALMOST the same. The track on the corrado is about an inch wider than on a2's... at least on vr6 ones. I would assume that g60's would be the same way. That's why folks call that conversion the "plus axle" setup. If you check out dean futrell's page (it's linked from a2-16v.com) he has some side-by-side pictures of the different subframes and control arms. Without having them lined up and next to each other it would be pretty tough to see the difference. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
