i have done a coilover conversion on my s12, bought a full set of TEIN coilovers for a s14, (cheaps!!) and the pillow ball top mount was a straight fit on my mk1, i used the lower arms, hubs and tension rods of the s13, mainly as i wanted bigger brakes and calipers and the s14a 4 pots bolt straight to the s13 hubs, gives wider track as well, re drilled the mounting holes on the s12 cross member to move the lower arms in, and used r33 skyline track rods and s12 track rod ends. had to modify the mounts for the rose jointed s13 tension rods i had lying around but less agro then you think, and offers more control.

your coilovers look mint for a home made, kudos to you, not trying to hi jack the thread just offering another solution. More then one way to skin a cat and all that. I will do a project thread at some point when i get more then 5 minutes as my 12 has had a fair bit done to her, pics will be on there!

good work though mate. How did those 1000lb springs work out for you?
