i take it you had to drill a separate hole in the strut tower to mount the coilovers?

no mate, everything stays in the same place with the conversion i've done, if you google s12 rear coil conversion, it should come up with a thread on club s12.

Just done the DayCo Motorsports spring perch conversion on mine from the S12club forum.

Had to have them shipped from America. Just cut the pig tail off the bottom of my springs so they fit on the perches. They fit straight over the suspension arm hump. 2 min job.

Probably cost more than Shaun's but I like plug and play

Twigged his mustache, muttered the words "ha! ha! you fools!" and buggered off with people's money, last I checked.

I might be selling some coil over kit converted S12 front stuts as I think I'm going to an S13 setup (just figuring out what S13 strut to use at the mo).

We stitch welded the front strut towers on mine, but thats all the reinforcement they needed, they haven't moved.

I also have two spare S12 struts if you want to convert those and still run your car.
