Just sounds like the rear shocks you have are knackered more than anything. Some I've seen have no oil in them so do next to shit all.
Its worth trying to use s13 coilovers all round, as you can independantly adjust the heights, preload, damping and on the front camber too. Someone (cant remember where) is getting the rears to fit by welding in new tops. Probably would cost about £500-600 for coilovers, S13 hubs, track rods and ends, some materials and mig wire.

£600 is 6 times more than the car cost in the first place...... The idea is to get it handling something like a car (as opposed to a blender) for as little monies as possible. The S13 idea came about because I was offered the stuff for freeness. I'm happy to run cut springs if the S13 G-max things are a no-goer, Christ, I'm happy to try and bodge up the old dampers if I had the first idea how to refill them or whatever. Since the S13 struts apparently don't fit  , the idea at the moment is to drain the originals and stick different oil in. my only concern there is are the seals or something likely to be knackered? Bearing in mind I think the dampers are FUBAR'd now - surely they are that way for a reason - and if I change the oil, surely the new oil will go the same way as the old?The rears I'm kinda happy with now... I'll hammer the S13 dampers on one way or another, and run the cut springs. At least it will be 'like' a car.

 What you mean is that you want it as low as possible and still handle as well as it can (given the circumstances). In which case, Cut springs and new shocks/fluid seems the only way to do that for next to no money. Have a word with Datdrift as he's got a budget drift pig and try to remember you can't always get something for nothing

to put s13 coilovers on the rear you have to completely build a new turret, a differnt kind of coild over set up has been fitted to the rear by some one on club s12 where the coilover spring is fitted in the place where the orginal spring is but with new seats and the coilover shock fitted as the old one is, technically it is a coilover set up....
gas shocks for the s12 aren't that expensive, kyb do some for about £50 each if i remember
