More stupid S13 suspension questions.

[drew555]

Yo people.

I come to beg at the font of all S12 wisdom.

I had a cunning plan to lower the Shed. Tramp style. I removed the springs (track only, so no MOT to concern myself with).

Looks cool.....



But the handling? Man oh man.

On the super smooth tarmac, fine. On anything else? Rancid just doesn't seem to say it. So I do not recommend it. Bumpstops are not suspension.

Needless to say, it didn't do my 'got a tiger by the tail' drift style any favours at all, so I'm going to do it (kinda) properly.

I've acquired S13 front struts, G-max lowering springs, and a full set of KYB dampers for my dorifto shed (all from an S13.. the fellas going to coilies).

Now, I can be a bit simple so bear with me.

At the front, I take it it's pretty much bolt-on? I haven't picked the bits up yet, so I can't offer it up to see

Which other bits will I need? I read somewhere that bottom arms from an S13 may be required, is this the case?

I assume the rear suspension set-up on an S13 isn't massively different to an S12 - will I be lucky enough to find that it's a case of jam the new springs in the hole and bolt up the damper?

Please bestow some knowledge upon me.

I don't want to have to throw the shed in the sea because uprated suspension bits on the cheap are like hens teeth.
