I just measured mine today and 2wd are about 45mm and 4x4 about 50mm in diameter.

Yup 4x4 are bigger - by a mm or two.
I came by some lovely leda remote resevoir coilovers only to find out they dont fit my hubs - the 3dr ones are def smaller.

i once had a v6 cossie sierra i built,i wanted to use a cossie arb,so i had to use cossie track control arms,the pin that goes through the hub on a normal sierra is totally different,so i used xr4x4 hubs with the cv joint from a 4x4,i just removed the driveshaft.it worked well,maybe if you are determined to use the leda gear you could do this!cheers,lee
