85 rx-7 suspension on rx-3

Will the rx7 suspension work on the rx-3 , i was reading the spec sheets of an rx-3 that was in a magazine and it said it had rx7 front and rear suspension. has anyone ever done this?

it will fit with modification. there is a rear disc brake kit that will use the first gen brakes, but i have heard of useing first gen shocks but i have also heard of using toyota shocks. so keep searchng, if somebody tells you they've done it ask for pics. cause i would like to get the rx7 stuff for my RX2.

I tried to use 1st gen suspension on my rx3 but the angle of the spindle was off. The camber was way positive. Ended up using rx3 spindle and rx7 springs and shocks.Cut the tubes in half and welded them back together.
