and haven't installed it. Looking at it, it looks to be the same arm setup as the 8.2e along with the tower. What would be the minimum changes I would need to make to create something similar to the 8.2?
What I am envisioning is:
-89491 Sus. upgrade kit
-89476 +3mm chassis
-85929 Motor mount
-89560 Center shaft
Obviously the newer suspension parts are helpful, but I can get that later, just looking to get it up and running for now.
Will I also need:
-89238 Chassis Brace F
-89239 Chassis Brace R
-89552 Side Guards?
Thanks

That is the "Worlds Kit." It came out just prior to the 8.2. It is virtually the same geometry except towers are taller. If you get the parts you listed, it will have the same feel as the 8.2e. I would recommend getting the hot bodies shock ends for the d8t (they are extended shock ends). The hot bodies shock ends are much nicer than the ones in the Worlds Kit. Also, the finish on the arms looks like crap, but is completely functional.
Only part you are missing is the Associated Low B Plate (ASC89481). This part is used to adjust front roll center and is optional. Stock B plate makes the car smoother and low B plate makes the car more aggressive.
I've done this conversion, but with the BCE chassis. The stock side guards and chassis braces worked.
