Need more cutting discs to clearance the rear. then i can box that and make the rear mounts.
Are the RX2 frame rails the same width as the FCs?

negative.

i had to make mounts that are outboard of the frame. the Rx2 is far narrower. This WILL require some kinda over fender shenanigans. This is also cause some issues with the coilovers. A stock FC coilcover probably wont work since it will cause all of the camber ever, since the hubs are much farther.

So with that, I have a guy who builds custom coilovers (he did my rally ones) so ill have that made for the application.

but considering there is nothing for the rx2 for suspension, the brakes ubersuck and the steering is hilariously poor, i am more than willing to make this work.
