Im no chassis engineer so I cannot comment on the changes necessary in using key designs in one chassis and applying them to another, but it seems like you may be able to take the blueprints in a broad sense and reapply them elsewhere. Does you lexus have a different chassis for its RWD model?
no, it's not a dedicated chassis, but it's GS's chassis. The chassis was designed to run on both AWD and RWD. Even IS-F share the same chassis and Lexus admitted it. For FT-86's chassis, Toyota and Subaru said, it's "an all-new chassis." then it is. You can compare the weights of legacy and FT-86 (when it's out).
