   You'll need vtr front struts and rear axle look around for prices then you can decide if its worth it

   Noope, Hub Adapters would surely act like spacers and push it out by quite a few MM.
   
   As above, Furio Axle if you want to keep the drums on is probably easiest to find, and depending on the reg of your car, 96-00 Struts or 01-04 4 Stud VT or Furio Struts.

   desire front struts and rear axle but you wouldnt need to change the axle i think you can get away with changing just the drums so the rear is simple! you could get 4 stud hubs and put on the front so you have new wheel bearings too.

    You don`t need adapters or a different rear beam,just front struts & 4 stud rear drums.
