i have a 94 escort with the 1.9L and im doin the kl swap.I have a donor mx3 gs and i was told i need to swap hubs with either some bp hubs or gs hubs.Does anybody know or anybody tried swapping the hubs from a gs to an escort lx? If so, should/can i use the stock escort rotors,calipers,etc?

I do not know from experience, but if we think about this rationally I'd say you need the whole MX assembly. The rotors and calipers are made to fit the hub not the car so I'd use the MX stuff that attaches to the hub. You are less likely to run into fitment problems that way. If you use the MX stuff make sure you run atleast a 14" wheel with a 32mm offset so that the brakes clear the wheel.

sounds good to me.I hope the balljoints/tierods work on the whole assembly.I was goin to use the mx3 brakes if possible and just swap brake lines.Thanks for the help PAT.
