You will need:
Suspension Arms (SC18 arms are the same, and they come with a sway bar ballstud already molded on them)
Turnbuckles or RTR Links
Dogbones AND Stub Axles OR CVDs
Rear Shocks (hint-they are the same as T/B fronts)
Shock Towers
Body Mounts
Body
Wheels and Tires( I prefer 3racing 18R tires over Associated)

The T2 uses the same as B2 on everything except, Front Shock Tower, Front Tires, Body. Rear shock tower and tires are the same.
Just for good measure, the SC18 uses everything from the 18R, but with the SC body and Tires.

All arms and suspension parts are the same, wheelbase is slightly longer on the newer cars so you will need to trim the bodies slightly.
