I understand the rear subframe is swapable to the na, what of the front subframe?

does it use the same chassis mounting points?

I ask becuase I assume to use front nb lower arms you need the nb front subframe, am I wrong? (I hope I am)

Does the nc rear use the same setup at the rx8 (as far as aftermarket adj. rods)?

'tanks :-k

no dice?

or is this like a nOOb question I dont know about

I guess nobody knows. You might check with someone like FM. I bet if it's compatible they'd know. There's a list somewhere on M.n that tells what you can swap.

No, you don't need to swap the subframe. NB control arms bolt on to the NA subframe with no problems. In fact, if you go to your local Mazda dealer and ask for a replacement NA control arm they will tell you it's been superceded by the NB part.

As for the NC, some (but not all) of the aftermarket adjustable parts interchange between RX-8 and NC. For example, the rear upper arm is the same but the toe link and traction arm are different.
