crs do a kit so u can bolt an x series disc on the front.

e series falcons run a completely different setup hub-wise and it would take a fair bit of mucking around to make it work. anything is possible but it would work out cheaper and easier in the long run to use a ready available kit.

having the diff cut down and shortened is possible for the rear.
