Suspension won't matter - It's a fairly simple swap.

The Z32 article seems to be a dead link.

Agani, read the brake swap article.

No need for Z spindles because there's not a huge need fr Z32 rears. S13 brakes are VERY front-biased.

You won't use Z32 suspension on your S13 because of a brake upgrade, even if you DO swap the rear uprights. Front uprights will remain the same.

Do tell. Unless you're using a Z rear damper or went with coilovers that you can change the lower mount, there's no way you can use a rear Z upright.

On a side note, I've had a HICAS car up in the air, and I do believe that it uses the aluminum Z32 rear upright as it had the same fork style damper mount.

my 240 has the super hicas thats another thing i have to deal with what about just changing the hub from four to five lugs and at the same time upgrading the z32 brakes?? cause i think that is possible. do you think that the z32 hub is going to fit in the 240 spindle if i press it in ?
