Everything on the new car will be different in the areas that you asked. The roll center positions will be different, wheelbase should be close to the same I think. As far as everything else, im not quite sure. This car was built from the ground up by Schumacher and iin no way, shape, or form resembles an MI2 EC. The only that are transferable to the new kit from the MI2 EC are:
Steering block
castor blocks
Arms( New arms will have new holes for sway bars, so old arms might be useless)
ball cups
turnbuckles
shocks
springs
diffs( But like Pw stated earlier, the new MI3 diff will have locked rings which will allow you to run a looser diff without it slipping).
