hey i was just wondering a few things about swapping the rear axel on a 91 w/ super hicas to the normal straight axel. 1. how different are the mounting points? 2. what things would need to be done to acheive this? 3. is it even worth the time and money? ---

1. You will have to change the whole subframe. 2. You will need the whole subframe out of a non-hicas car. 3. Yes and No… ---
