I wanted to know if anyone had a link to a thorough install with pics. I have found a few but they were not detailed enough. You'll have to forgive me, I am not very mechanically inclined. I plan on installing a set of Stance GR+ Pros on my S13 hatch.

Thanks

Thanks for everyone's help and especially for that video. This information will really come in handy when I get my coilovers in.

I will be posting pics and just to let everyone know, here's a list of the mods I currently have:S14 Front clip (25,000 kilometers, I have the odometer).ACT Clutch and FlySS Clutch lineB&M shifterSS Brake LinesBrembo Slotted Rotors F&RHawk PadsNismo ThermostatSamco Radiator HosesGreddy FMICNismo Eng & Tran mountsNGK PlugsOEM water pumpOEM BeltsWalboro Fuel PumpZ32 Fuel FilterEarls SS Turbo LinesTurbo Gaskets F&R Main SealsTitek 52mm Gauge holderRota off-road grids

Nothing has actually been put on/in the car yet (except for the brake upgrade)so I'm excited to see how everything turns out. I realize I still need some more parts; however, I wanted to know what everyone thought thus far.

Thanks again

lol...it does exist. It's just gonna take some time b/c although I do want to install certain things myself, I'm letting my mechanic perform the engine swap. Also, on a scale from 1-5, how hard do you guys feel it is to install a Kaaz 1.5 way LSD into an S13 with an open-diff?

Thanks again

P.S. The wheels aren't even on yet b/c I'm waiting to get my suspension and tires.
