Any benefits to the RE port runners? Are the rotors the same C/R?

port runners or plates? or port runners inside the plate.

all the re stuff has bigger ports then the fd rew but the plates are not as strong

So then the RE plates should probably be used for something that does not require a hard launch such as AutoCross.

it all depends on how much power u have and how the car is TUNED.

i dont really believ in that stronger plate stuff. the fd motor is hung by the

rear plate and the castign has to be thicker on the dowel pins, the fc motor

is hung inteh middle so teh casting is smaller. to judge that one is stronger and one is weaker is hard. there are a few other castign diffrences but i doubt

they do much.

I am pretty sure that since the dowel surrounds are thicker they are weak elsewhere because of it.

not sure about that, but if u want a stronger motor i guess u could use the FD plates but that would only mean u can use them in teh center since in the FD it woudl be just stock
