Default Cosworth 24v 4x4 conversion

Need some advice re doing a 24v 4x4 conversion in my 4i. I know about changing the transmission tunnel and cutting the chassis legs for the front drive shafts and gearbox. What my question is I want to keep my escort cosworth alloys but what front end assembly do I use xr4x4 or 4x4 cosworth as in legs hubs track control as and drive shafts

xr4x4 will be cheaper that's for sure!

I've undone my 24v 4x4 to go rwd,

If you need anything.

The escos wheels stick out too far with xr4x4 hubs. On my old 24v xr4x4 I swapped to cos 4x4 hubs and they sit just right. You can also bolt on cos brakes as well then.
