Which parts needed for ZX-5 RTR to SP

[GO_OUTSIDE!]

Hi I'm new.
I have been browsing today and am left with a question. If the LAW35 SP conversion kit is indeed discontinued (KYOSHO is accepting backorders) what are the parts needed to convert an RTR to an SP?
What are the advantages of the conversion?
I havent driven my new car yet and I havent raced in 15 years but after watching some of the video footage of the ERevo pulling wheelies I am certain I will be upgrading the motor. Nothing crazy, just halfway crazy.

I'm nearly 40 and am waiting for my new toy with the patience of a 6 year old.

Thanks

Thanks

firstly welcome to oople!!!!!!the sp handles much better
in all aspects.it will now cost around£110 to convert in pieces.a good 2nd hand conversion can be had for arond half that.worth consider upgrading diffs if youre putting more power through transmission.loads of other guys will help you out.just keep asking.many thanks jez.

its quite possible that i will be breaking an fs for spares shortly.mainly into 3 bits;4x shocks,fs chassis and drivetrain,and sp suspension components.this would basically leave me with 2x diffs,some plastic parts,bearings and wheels.thanks jez.

I would certainly be interested in the sp suspension and axle bits.

Are the differentials different? I have already ordered ceramic balls.

I should mention that I am currently in California and will be moving to Virginia (usa) May 23rd.
I dont know that you would want to deal with the headache of shipping overseas.
