i think he's asking if the front end is jdm? if thats the case then no, the front end isnt jdm, it looks like the standard 94-97 front end, if thats the case, dont change it

thanks guys yea i am gonna keep this front end.... i got a REALLY Did i mention it has LSD ; ) great deal on this DB8 it does need some cosmetic work and a radio but everything else is SOLID. I'll be doing the timing belt and water pump and head gasket change this weekend along with NRG quick release AND my car has an alarm
