suspension wise, RB stage 1 block works very well but it will cause the front tires to rub against the lower part of the fender when turning. my light blue RX-3 was a former track car so the previous owner tucked-out the fender lips (instead of rolling) to prevent rubbing. Others have folded the corner or cut it out completely which is not my style
