I have researched the swapping of the rear 88 cradle to an earlier car. I have not found anything on swaping the front suspension. Any Help!

There have been a couple of people who have done it. It involved drilling new mounting holes to mount the 88 crossmember. You have to get these holes right or the suspension will be off center and or crooked. Try searching again, I know it's out there. Welcome to the forum by the way. Some people will say that the earlier front suspension and the 88 rear suspension is the best combination for handling.

It is not an easy swap. The early front susepnsion is not as good as the 88 but the difference may not be enough to warrant the trouble of this swap. The biggest advantages of the 88 are, less kickback, anti-dive geometry and bigger brakes.

There are plenty of upgrades for the front suspention including poly bushings, lowering springs, thicker roll bar, and many brake upgrades. You may consider these and I am sure they would be much cheaper.
