it swaps into a sn95 from an 03 because the chassis is damn near the same, hell even body panels can be swaped(looks like ****) IMO

ive been looking at a few articles i found on the internet. actually looks like it bolts right up (4 new holes drilled into the frame rails) and thats it. Same springs and everything. But then of course brake lines but thats the easy part. im still looking for someone who has done this tho for some tips??

so you guys are saying that stuffing an IRS suspension in a fox will make it handle better thatn MM's maximum grip box package ??? if that's true i can't even believe how much that would be crazy... anybody see the article in R&T (at least i think it was R&T, i might be wrong) where they tested a basically stock fox with MM's road and track box package (wich is a few steps down from the maximum grip box) and the thing outran almost everything they ever tested before on their slalom course? that was nuts, some of the cars on that list were 100+K high-end exotics.
