Hi. I have a hq (sedan) with 202 and 4spd. Im replacing it with 253 and 4spd. Wondering if i should change chassis rails to RTS. It has HX rails at present, did HX have RTS? Or is it not worth the hassle.

Only late HX. Easy way to tell is to check where the front shock absorber top mounting point is. If it's right in the middle of the upper control arm mounts it's RTS. If it's back towards the rear it's same as HQ. Definitely worth it IF you are prepared t |

Hi red.
This question of RTS in the late HXs comes up often, so thought I'd try & clear the air a bit.
HZ RTS consisted of 5 main items:-
Altered front suspension geometry
Spring upgrades
Shocks upgrades
Upgraded front sway bar
Rear sway bar ad |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Hi Dr Terry
Will the HZ subframe and steering components fit directly to a HQ coupe?
what other mods may be required?
Thanks
