    zx2 knuckle + rx7 ball joints + mx3 gs control arms.

    Has anybody done this to their egt? What did you do with the half shafts? Or did the stock ones work? I'm not worried about fender interference for its a track car and flares will be built. The plan is to get zx2 knuckles for the bigger/longer rx7 ball joints attached to the longer mx3 gs lower control arms. Going to run a 15x7 with 35 offset and 205/50/15 rubbers. The Only Issue I Have Is NOT Knowing If The Halfshafts Are Going To Come Apart When Rounding A corner.


    And on the rear I just need the 4 arms from a mx3 gs and a way to mount the rear sways?

    I am not sure about the EGT axles, but you'll also need to watch out for your tie rod lengths as well..

    I run mx3 arms, and Rx7 ball joints on my 323 autocross car. I use mx3 V6 axles (I have a KLG4 swap in the car) and they are maxed out with this set up. I also use an Mx3 rack and tie rods, they are longer. I had a 323 rack/tie rods at one time and the tie rods were border line to short.

    Are you looking to do this set up for camber?? I am asking because I have played a lot with this set up and found its better to get camber down at the knuckle rather then tilting the struts.

      The big reason for the setup is getting the wider track. The guys I run with convinced me the extra width is a big plus. The camber I'll get is just a bonus.

      Yeah I also planned on the mx3 gs rack. It has a shorter lock to lock?

          The Mx3 GS rack is the shortest rack lock to lock.

          I am interested to see how it works out for you. My experience has been more negative then positive. Next season I plan to take the Mx3 arms out, go back to stock 323 arms and use my camber/caster plates to reduce the SAI even more, while maxing out my caster. From there I'll use the adjustment in the shocks at the spindle for all my camber. I am hoping this helps me get more life out of my front tires.

          Remember increasing the track width, increases the SAI. The more SAI you have the more caster you need to run in order to maintain a good camber curve while turning. It was problematic for me to run my caster/camber plates maxed out for both caster and camber. I ended up having issues wearing out the inside half of my slicks. This season I moved my caster/camber plate back to the stock location and dialed in more camber down at the spindle. I now have even wear across the front of my tires, but I am still having issues chewing threw slicks to fast.
