Default 4ws conversion help

I am getting rid of my 4ws and i need a definitive list of what is needed.

I was told by some that i need the knuckles of a non 4ws others say the 4ws knuckles are fine. I do know that i need the rear subframe from a non 4ws car and the toe arms. I was also told i will need non 4ws lca's.

I already own non 4ws lca's and toe arms. From what i can tell the Lca's are actually identical and the kuckles on my 4ws look like the toe arms would actually fit in them. It just looks like i need a rear subframe from a non 4ws.

Guys please help me out. The more money i save the more money i can spend on other parts for my project.

shouldn't be scary at high speed. it turns the same way as the fronts above approx 30mph. It does help a lot during slower driving and parking, but it will actually disable itself if it senses that you are doing overly aggressive driving. it's basically there for the convenience of slower driving and parking. not really needed.. we all have diff. opinions but if you feel you need to remove it that's cool.. i'm keeping mine.

BTW, i forget to check my paypal to see if you sent a couple bucks for the prelude manual.. did you send it? sorry i've been running around a lot and last night i started losing brake pressure in my prelude. hoping it's only the master cylinder.. relatively cheap...
