Looks to be way different as the opening on the shock tower on the rx3 is bigger,might have to cut the rx2 up.brakes are also a tiny bit different I believe.

not worried about the opening, car already is cut up some for the FC subframe, but the Rx3 has camber plates available from Ground Control, which mount rather flat anyway.

Well if you are going to run fc subframe I would imagine you are gonna run fc spindle,hub and springs .if that's the case why not get fc camber plates and redrill and open up the rx2 shock tower to that?
