Default Gc to gd coilovers

Upgrading my classic to 5x114.

I have new age hubs, shafts, 180 rear diff, seals for my 6speed to convert it to male ended shafts etc.

I can either machine the hubs to accept my classic coilovers. Or what is involved with fitting gd coilovers to my gc chassis?

This is from memory so maybe be incorrect, the fronts should fit fine but for the rears you will need classic top mounts

I remember something similar.

Are top mounts easy to change?

Pretty straight forward as there is only onen nut to secure them to the strut

For what it's worth that's my understanding too but if you're going 114 hubs I think the bolts have a different off set for the strut on the hub for 114's over 100's
