Default Re: XD and RD?

RD platform Unit Body and is a Cross member chassis

RD is easier chassis to work with when removing engines and transmissions.

RD is 96-99 tiburon

RD2 technically revised made a little stiffer and change for the different body kit

RD2 is 00-02 tiburon


XD is a Unibody with subframe setup.

XD chassis is inherently stiffer because of better design

XD is also heavier in deisgn. More metal, better metal means more weight

XD is Elantra I think its 01-present


GK is modified XD platform, for the tibubron 03-present
