My current 20v does not have UFO's as the brakes have already been converted.

I purchased a donor 200 for various parts one being the new H&R Springs and Bilsteins that the person had just installed before he tried to split a telephone pole in two. Anyways the donor car has UFO Brakes. I dropped the entire assembly out of the donor car and tried to swap the entire set-up in to my 200.

Well to my surprise the entire strut towers and brake calipers dont line up between my car and the donor car's. Does this make sense to someone knowledgeable out on this forum?

Is it possible to use the UFO Strut Tower, springs and struts from the donor car and swap them in to my other 200? Is there a way to do this?

Any help other than selling you the whole suspension set-up would be great.

...you wanna put UFO strut housings in your 200 20v thats got G60 housings?
If so it should be a straight bolt on.

Were was the hit on the car? Front, side..which side, ect????

& it came with the motor in it...the donor car that is?

Yes you are correct about my project. The bolts for the brake caliper housing dont line up. They are off by a good bit.

The car was wrecked in the front. Most of the good engine parts are gone. Still parting out many other non-engine parts. Seats, doors, tranny, radio/CD Changer, ABS, Air Box, MAF, intercooler, oil lines, new AC Compressor, New E.Brake Cable, MM Hoses, breather hose, steering rack...

Let me know if you need anything.

If so they obviousley will not fit.
You'll need to swap out the springs & shocks onto your G60 housings.

& I need a PS pump hose...got any of those? Or an Alt bracket????

I guessing your are still without a car?

Would be worth it though. UFOs are 100 times better than G60s on these cars.

I've just had the worst luck!
I've been waiting 3 freaking weeks for my engine pieces to get back from powder coating...if I @ least had the motor mounts I could mount the motor to the trans for Krists sake!
Then I couldn't get the front 17mm bolt out for the Alt...so I had to remove the bumper, IC pipeing, dropped the Aux cooler, ect to get a good straight shot @ the bolt....but when I did it freaking broke. It's just a mess!

Won't the bracket and hose from the 10v 200 tq work?

Re:Or you could use the UFO brakes on the UFO struts and have better braking.

I tried to take the H&R Springs and Bilstein Struts out of the UFO Strut housing and swap in to my housings and they wont work.

I dont have the UFO Brakes anymore. Any other suggestions?
