Default s13 rear coilovers

has anyone here converted the rear of the s12 to run s13 rear coilovers and if so any pics?

or is it just easier to convert the shock into coilovers with one on those kits?? if this is done is there still the same issue of the orginal rear strut not being strong enough to suport the weight of the rear end of the car??

there isnt enuf room to convert the s12 as is to coilovers, the spring would hit the body.

you can cut out the area and make a turret for the s13 coilovers to bolt to, but there is a lot of work involved, and so far ive only seen it done once.
