Thanks for the quick reply, Spank. He'll definitely need to change out wheels to 12's at least. Not running metro hubs our balloons yet, so should be a non-issue. Although I always do an alignment check when I change out suspension components.
This is why I'm still on MiniMania.

yes, if the setup came off of your mini, they will fit on the arms just fine.*
Whether or not his wheels will fit over the brakes is another story.
*Things to take note of:
If your hubs/uprights are of the Metro variety (1-piece balljoints) there is a chance your friend could have an undesireable alinment change. Adjustable bottom arms will allow him to restore a better camber setting.
The toe will need to be adjusted when going from drum to disc. In extreme cases, it could necessitate replacing the steering rack ends with the the longer ones that are available part # gsj158 (which are reportedly the same ones that are sold for Sprites).

I'm selling my brake and hub setup, and a buddy of mine is wondering if it will fit on his hydro car. I'm selling the hubs, steering arms, bearings, seals, brake calibers, braided brake lines, flances, ball joints, everything. He asked me if they will work on his hydro car, and my first inclination was yes, but I wanted to make sure they will. I've never dealt with the hydro cars. I thought the upper control arm and other suspension components were the big difference.
Can you guys let me know. I'd hate to send them to him only to find out they don't work. And I know I'm not an expert on hydro cars.
