Default Exactly what needs to be done to fit a 2wd beam and arms to a 3dr

I have got a 2wd rear beam and arms that are poly bushed so want to fit them to my 3dr it also has a 4x4 anti roll bar and brackets. What will i need to mod to fit it to the 3 dr ?

ehm nothing, altough the diameter of the holes at the arms where the shockabsorbers get connected could be different?

i'm pretty sure it just bolts right up
the arms are differant on the 3dr's
but its just the arb mounts that are differant
si if your using the full thing from a 2wd saph then it should all go straight on

If all 2wd then shock holes same size, the arb mounts for the different sapphy/escos shape arb will/may not be there, so a little farbrication might be needed, but that's all.

you will need to put a bolt hole into the shell to take the arb mounts
