questions raised about z32 spindles on s13

[Dead Serious]

i posted this to the engineering guys and got no response, maybe not the right place now that im becoming more familiar with nico. i checked the faqs and i read the sport compact car article and im alittle foggy1. if i go with the 300zxtt rear spindle will the 300zxtt shock mate up to an upper mount that will fit my s13 upper mount bolt pattern? 2. has anyone had any problems finding a propper 240sx spring rate for a 300zxtt rear coilover (aftermarket or otherwise)?3. will a 300zxtt rear coilover limit my ride height settings on an s13(i am seriously considering a full threaded coilover anyway)?it seems a popular mod (s14/300zxtt spindles) so this stuff probably isnt an issue right?

p.s. brakes and unsprung weight are super important so thats why i wanna do this

pps i would really appriciate ppl not messaging me like im stupid....there is alot of ignorant crap on the street and im not trying to add to it.....can i get an amen

Don't quote me on this... but I dont think that z32 upper mounts are a direct bolt on to the strut towers, unless you drill your own holes. However, I do know that coilover companies like Tein and KTS offer S-chassis coilovers with an optional rear z32 rear knuckle mount.

The upper mount is the same, however if using the 300ZX uprights the lower mount is a fork type, so you can either fab up lower mounts to your stock strut, use 300ZX rear struts or buy coilovers that offer the fork type lower mount. I belive JIC does

ill do some lookin and see which manufacturers offer the s13 coilover with the zxtt lower mount. then ill post my findings

maybe this info will be usefull to everyone else

yes JIC makes the s chassis coilover with optional fork type lower mount
