Can someone please explain to me why a 3 rotor wont go into a 3rd gen. I understand the motor mounts and subframe need to be changed. But doesnt pettit sell a new subframe, and motor mounts wont be too hard. But other than that + all the normal conversion stuff, why wont it work?

lol.. then why did everyone make such a big deal when i mentioned it before? You guys said it would cost a fortune to get it to drop in, etc...



from the looks of the pictures dragon had, the pettit subframe and the spindles shouldnt be too expensive. My plan was to do it on the fc and i started collecting parts, etc.. but my goal is for an fd. And ive decided to stick with the goal.

pettit sells the subframe and spindles for 2k exchange i think.



you know if you want a 20b fd, you should do a 20b fd. if you do an fc you'll never be happy with it.

Doesn't the 20b get in the way of the steering rack too?
