just wanted to know around how much is it to convert the front end of a zenki to kouki?

is the front end a little wider after being converted?

I'm pretty sure the front ends are the same widths.

If I remember correctly, a decent used kouki front costs about $1500.

You could offset the price by selling the zenki front, if it's in good condition.

Your looking at about 2 grand and yes its 40 mm wider; Just stick to zenki.

^I was wrong, the kouki front is wider.

thanks for the info.

Oh no i was being a smartass

. To the OP you can source used oem parts and waste about a grand or less(if you know where to look). I believe both fronts are about the same, none is wider than the other.

Don't ruin a Zenki front with that Kouki lame-ness. Source out a Navan bumper and skirts. Way sexier than wasting a perfectly good Zenki front.

I think you were right, according to this thread( http://zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/140728...etainer-q.html ) the kouki front is a little wider.

I hear kouki to zenki conversions are all the rage, btw I think the kouki is like 2 feet wider so you should totally go for it, that way you can run 18 inch wide wheels.
