Yes fronts will fit. You may wanna swap the strut tops around so u dont need to redrill mount holes.

I think I'm going to have to do up a guide for this! 
I run AE82 twincam front suspension with AE92 GZE front brakes, and AE92 Rear hub knuckles and brakes in an AE82 sedan.
For the front:
Yes, its all good. Use the disk and caliper only! You will need to cut off the AE82 stone guard as the disk is larger, and slightly slot the holes in the hub knuckle to get the brake pads to sit right on the disk. Both easy to do.
The strut tops should be interchangeable, but you will have problems unless you use both the AE92 hub kbucles and struts (in that case, of course, the brakes are even easier to fit, just undo the ball joint on the control arm)
For the rear:
This is the tricky bit. You can use the complete AE92 rears with the AE82 strut tops, but you will have to modify the rear lower control arm as the AE82 one wont fit on the AE92 hub, and the AE92 arm is too long for the AE82 chassis.
If you want pics of the conversion, let me know.
Craig.

thanks haggis.
but what i mean is, doesnt something have to be changed so i can use the gze box? I just thought it might have been easier to put the whole strut and sh*t in so i know its all going to go back together, im getting a gze half cut, ae92, and putting it in to my 4age ae82, so, will this work or do i have to do what 'mangem' surgested, either re-drill and repostion the ae92 struts or put the twinky spring 'hat' on to the ae92 strut.
sorry if this doesnt make any sence, but i hope someone will understand my dribble lol
thanks

Are you sure your not referring to the crossmember? Where the gearbox mounts dont line up correctly?

no, im on about the driveshafts wont fit the twinky hubs will they? as they are a bit bigger from what iv red/can gather. so what im saying is would it be easier just to use the brake set-up outa the half cut of the gze (ae92) and put in to my ae82, but what im asking will all that bolt straight up?!

You would be best to get the twincam AE82 strut tops if you can get a set, otherwise, use the single cam strut tops. This way, all you have to do undoo the three bolts on the control arm for the ball joint, the steering ball joint, the brake line and the strut tops to swap the whole thing over.
Be sure to check the ride height afterwards.
The AE92 brakes would be the best to use as the standard single cam AE82 ones wont cut it.
I would strongly recommend that you DONT drill holes to make the AE92 strut tops fit. This can only serve to weaken the top of the strut tower in you car.
As for the GZE box fitting, try a quick search on the forums. I remember a few discussions on this topic.

okay, i have a factory 4age ae82! so i have twincam brakes, but their getting on now, and i thought seeing as im dropping in a ae92 4gze, just wanted to swap the brakes/struts and stuff, all i wanna know is will this bolt straight in with out any worries?!?
iv done the search on the forums about the gze box, and im pretty sure its says your have to spread something to make the shafts fit in to the twincam hubs? but insted of doing that, thats why im asking i can put the brake/suspension set up of the ae92 half cut with out any trouble?
