rx2 suspension

Im currently working on a project, its a '73 rx2 coupe and what i need to know is, how dificult is it to swap out a full first gen suspension into the rx2? another thing i wanted to do was install coilovers, is that possible with the suspension swap? The reason im interested in doing the swap is because its been hard to find the suspension parts for the rx2 and I was told that i can do a swap. I need some info to keep going with this project...

I was told on a differnet forum, one from AU.
That this swap wasnt that good of an idea. =|
But there are some people on here that have done it, so they might be of some help for you.

Although the're expensive, they still make Koni's for the Rx2, 4 click non-externally adjustable....go to classicgarage.com. Unless you get custom GC's at 325+ a piece! I'm running the Koni's with GC coilover sleaves...works fine for me...with 14x7 SSR with 195/55
