Having owned FD's for some 15 plus years, I took the plunge last year and bought an RX3 in need of some love, starting as a rusty blue with the usual grot round the arches and windows she is now in a shiny new coat of black, I am fitting a 12a turbo engine and gearbox, with an LSD at the back end.

Currently in the throws of sourcing arches and some watanabe wheels to replicate the god like rx3 in the picture.

I am in need of front suspension and brake upgrades to support the 9J front wheels she will eventually wear

 

nice looking project! good luck.

 

Cheers,

I am looking to put some 9j's on the front, are there any other options to replacing with FB struts to give the front axles a fighting chance?

 

My understanding is that you can add an insert to what you have and buy some Coilovers and add a aerospace brake system , my cousin is buying this from chassis warehouse in Miami Florida area for his RX-2 and is about the same for a Rx-3 no need to upgrade to a FB struts I will know more in the next couple weeks when I order it for my Cousin . I'll keep you posted
