Anything is possible, but not worth it.
A guy on here did it years ago. Better off buying some adjustable shocks, there is a sales on the the HAL QA1's in the parts section now.

FX3 is a little overrated and would be expensive to install. Not worth it .

Probably close to $2,500.00 for the parts (nos) alone.

The only reason I can think of to add FX3 as an after thought is if you are an advid 1/4 mile guy and want to custom program the controler to give specific front / rear stiifness ratios.

Maybe there is a mild argument for the autocross guy, but manual adjustables would be a better bang for the buck.

I have a 92 with FX3 and use it as a daily driver and it serves little purpose in the real world.

I have a 91 with FX3 and it is just about to go in the bin in favour of some coil overs.....
