Default Couple of questions about running gear...

Hi
I've bought a 3dr cossie minus running gear and front brakes, and have a few questions..

1) is the prop the same for a 3dr and sapphire?
2) Are the front brake assemblys the same?
3) Are the exhaust lengths the same

Afaik the prop is the same, the front brakes are identical between 3 door cos and 2wd sapphy(4wd has different calipers).
The 3 door has unique hubs though, which are a bit expensive and sought after by some, they run far less castor than the sapphy cos, and the roll centre is different too.
Again as far as I know the exhaust fit each other as well.

I think the exhaust tail pipe length is shorter on the 3dr than the saff, but the rest of the system is the same.
