Default 2003 S type R rear subframe

Drifted my str in the rain and hit a curb, broke the rear passenger side suspension knuckle and wheel hub, which i've already got replaced at a shop after tracking down the part and a broken rim as well which i have also replaced already. The mechanic that did the knuckle and hub swap for me told me my subframe/ rear suspension crossmember (sorry i don't know the correct term for it) was bent and i needed to replace it. i cannot find one anywhere for my str i was wondering if a 2003 s type 3.0 would fit?

the bushings are different and stiffer but who cares, i think the sway bar is too but you can swap it

you need your 2.87 rear end

car is currently drivable and alliances pretty good, i just need to swap out the rear to be able to get the alignment perfect, but all of the rear is still original except for the hub and knuckle i just replaced, i'm going to go ahead and order the frame will let you know how it comes out
