Anyone know the main differences between the Gen3 and Gen4 Funcos? 

 
Anyone know the main differences between the Gen3 and Gen4 Funcos? 
Some of the changes from the Gen. 3 to Gen 4

1.  More travel, from 17" front to 18" and 18" rear to 20"

2.  New style airbags w/ rubber bumpers internal to the bag

3.  Uniball trailing arm pivots (from Derlin bushings)

4.  Longer axels w/ 5.5" backspace wheels so car will still fit in a trailer

5.  Better power steering rack.

6.  4" longer wheel base

7.  And a bunch of cosmetic stuff

8.  Midboard hubs (12 bolts) on the Gen4 instead of microstubs (3 bolts), which accomodates the longer axles to allow for more travel without abusing the CVs.

9. Better radiator setup, uses a cradle instead of hardmounts

10.  C&R radiator instead of Ron Davis radiator

11.  A-arms are bigger tubing, heavier duty

12.  Larger front spindle axles

13. The overall length is about 6 to 12" longer than Gen3, depending on Subaru or V8

14. Bigger gas tank, hold 3 more gallons

15. Cast iron rear suspension pivots

16. All cars have Uniball pivots on the rear($250 option)

17. Gas gauge for gas tank, instead of visi-gauge mounted on tank.

18. Billet rear view mirror

 
IIRC the Gen 3 was 117" WB. The Gen 4 was 120" WB for a Subie car and 123" WB for the V6/V8 cars.

 
OK Cool. Same as mine. They sure look big in the pic! 
The wheel can make a big difference.  We had guys stretching "10.5" slicks onto 14" and 15" wide beadlocks.  made the side wall look short & the width look super wide.
