    And as I said earlier in the thread, it's not the top hat that's the challenge to fit, whatever pattern yours uses, it's just a matter of drilling -- the bottom on the other hand is specific

    UPDATE: I should be picking up some front s13 colovers to take pictures with
    I think if you search my build thread you'll be able to find a part number for a kawasaki press in stud. I used em for the rear upper mounts on my stance coils.

    Someone is just about to fix their last issue to use the bbk they picked up, so you'll see that working shortly

    I might have someone who wants a set will let you know.

    Comparison pic… note the non-turbo hub is a little taller and the balljoint location is further in too, hence the plywood

    Look at the angles of the bolt holes, then consider the z31's strut top sits more inboard compared to s13


    I'll order some stance lower s13 mounts to show how it all fits, but I don't understand why all this panic ?

    People are scared of anything new. Especially if it has potential to work. I thoroughly enjoy this idea and do put them on a car.



    If you do run into camber angle, simply drill a few holes or do something like this:

    Not for the faint of heart. This guy knows his suspension geo and has the brass ones to put it to use on the track. Apparently the oem strut mount location on this r32 wasn't working out for him so he made this.







    The kit is cut and shut/chop n weld anyway for your tubes. If you run into issues and have to move the strut top it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

    Could also slot the lower strut mount bracket holes to help line stuff up too. The fact the bracket is slightly offset is prolly the biggest "what if?" issue.

    I'm ordering the stance lower s13 brackets so no one will say "ya but what if I have brand X?" type questions

    Id be interested in seeing the camber specifications after installation. Toss them on your car and take some measurements at max camber with the top plates.

    If these are tested on a car, and camber measurements are okay, i'd be inclined.

    The static camber can easily be brought into spec, but the camber curve will be different (closer to a 240sx camber curve)

    It will be a great complement to the adjustable control arm thingy I'm working on, if I could stop redesigning it everytime I look at it, but that's another story

    Ok I want to start a poll on this, because I realize there was some confusion and some unhealthy e-fighting over this…

    How many of you WILL BUY or are INTERESTED (n the very near future), assuming that all the alignment apocalyse scenarios are wrong, and you will have a workable car after?

    Just say "I'm in" or something to that effect… gooo!

    im interested because we discussed this before, but i have no money, but i know you personally, so i guess you could say i WOULD be down for a set, but i don't have a functioning z car or a functioning wallet.
