7th Gen Galant Front Suspension Conversion on 8G: Can It Be Done?

Hello all! Newbie here.

I recently purchased a sweet ‘99 Galant for super cheap. I’ve always wanted one. And I have plans on doing an AWD 4G swap. I am just curious anout the front suspension. I know the USDM Galant uses a macpherson strut setup while the JDM Galant uses a multilink setup. I was just curious if it would be possible for the 7G suspension to be swapped on an 8G. I also believe the 2G Eclipse had a front multilink as well.

I’m aware “Anything can be done with enough cash” but I just want to know because I want to make the car as Vr-4 like as possible. I can’t have the 6A13TT, so I figure the suspension won’t hurt.

Thanks in advance.

evo 8-9 front subframe or 8g v6 front subframe (with mods), 2g auto rear subframe and differential, custom drive shaft (both evo and 2g dsm auto), evo 8 -9 transmission and t-case.

I’ve seen the tutorials online. I know I’ll probably need a donor GSX. I just want to know if it’s possible to run a front multilink on an 8G

And does it have to be auto even if I plan on running a manual?

I believe there is no way to use a front multi-link on the USDM 8G unless you were to fabricate the majority of it yourself.

Yes. The GSX auto rear diff uses the correct gear ratio for compatibility with the Evo 8 and 9 transmission.
