Very expensive, but shows it's possible

Upside down coilovers are only worthwhile on the front, the rears aren't subject to any lateral loads like the fronts

Yeah but the style don't really make any difference. (in terms of getting them to fit an S12)

Personally, I don't know one end of a spanner from the other but from what I've read on here though, isn't that the big hoo-ha about the s12, that there is a problem with getting rear suspension to fit? Most of the stuff I've read is people having to do loads of fabrication to get stuff to go in?

Its getting the coilovers to fit in the top which requires modification.
