Parts Identification help.

Is there a website that has some detailed pictures of a 72 RX2 suspension, brakes and rear-end? I have this RX2 that was a former road racer from the looks of it. Im new to the old school side of rotaries so Im not sure what is stock and what is after market on the car. Things like cross drilled rotors and coilover rear suspension are kinda tipping me off. Here are some pics of the various parts Im wondering about.

The rear coilovers are stock. The front springs and struts are the stock configuration, but I have no way of telling how the spring rates and stuff compare. You do, however, definitely have aftermarket rotors. Any idea if the diff is an LSD or open? Also, you have studded hubs and with some damn long studs, by the look of it. At least you can know that your front hubs and rotors have gotten some attention.

Yeah I knew the studs were aftermarket the car has big fender flares on it. You can see the old 11 inch wide slicks in one of the pics that fit under the rear. Any idea if those calipers are stock? I plan on autocrossing the car some Im sure almost all of that suspension/brakes will need to be replaced. This car was in pretty rough shape when I got it.
