it is a direct replacement for the forks, it bolts into the fork clamps,
if you have a hyundai based go 4, you can reuse the front brakes and
wheel, if you have an older one like mine (2000 model) based on the
ford/daihatsu drivetrain, you will have to buy the newer brake caliper
and wheel and it will end up costing just over $2000, and I did install
it myself and still have the old fork assembly around somewhere, which
need rebuilding
