My FB has an FC subframe since they are the same width for mounting. The rx7 has about 5 more inches of width between the inner unibody frame thats in the engine bay. So i am considering making brackets to mount and hold an FC subframe which grants me modernish suspension, brakes, steering, blah blah blah.

The rear... GSLSE axle since i have spares laying around, and if i want to run the 5 lug moser axles, if not, ill do the aaron cake 4 lug w/ 4 piston calipers adapter thingy. So with the front track width and the rear not being cut down, ill plan to run some aggressively sized over-flares.

I was planning something similar at first. But I was going to cut the extra width out of the FC subframe and re weld it back together. But without building a jig, it would be near impossible to get it back strait again.

One major thing that really pushed me off the FC subframe is the strut height. Your car would be slammed even on stock height springs. Put the Rx2, SE, and FC suspension next to eachother and you will see how much shorter the FC stuff is. I even put together the stock Rx2 strut top, SE springs, and FC strut. Goes together with little modification.
