Well Ive kind of switched gears on this project, i pulled the rear end out, stuffed a stock rear suspension back in, moved it all back to stock, mostly. I grabbed an old bat inc kit for mustang calipers on 00-04 knuckles with fsvt rotors. Bought a set of ksport 1st gen coilovers - which are sort of rare as most of the ones sold now are much different without adjustable camber/top plates, they usually require cutting the strut towers a bit to gain adjustability but they also put my car wayyy too low at the highest setting, so i made a set of spacers for the struts.
I also made a set of 1.25" wheel spacers that are hubcentric too. I also found a deal on a JRSC w/bbk, so im in the process of building a low km motor up to swap into it, keeping it FWD for now.
Now I havent scrapped the RWD conversion, I ended up buying a completely rust free shell, 2000 zx3, still has paint on the subframes and rust free doors, hatch, rockers, everything. So its a better platform to start on rather than use my rusty ol RS conversion, plus now i dont have to weekend-warrior all the mods i want to do to it so i can daily drive it.
Strut spacers, 1.25" as well, also allows me to adjust the camber without hacking my car up.
