You can use the front and rear differenetial off of the 89 RS, along with the wheels. Everything else is a no go. The differentials are geared at 4.77 versus the stock 4.30 you are runnign so that is an improvement fo acceleration, though a decrease in gas mileage if you put those in. Most people like them if you offroad, and I have them in mine for that very reason, makes up for the increased tire size.

if it was an 93 RS, you would have a lot more in common.
True true...the 93 does have a lot of the same parts. Crawling around on the wife's, there are a ton of things that are the same, and some that are much better. Way better seating setup in the RS than the VX. Who needs spacious back seats when you can't even get back there.
