well

Z32 uprights are good if you have dampers liek ZEAL and get the lower case..its not worth it to cut off and weld ont he Z32 lower mount

i just use the ebrake to bring my line back down sharper since i start earlier and finish later than 99% of the people at the event ala-Hariguchi/Miki

so the Z32 ebrake really helps to bring me back down if im goign wide.

i have been in a Q45 front/oem rear car..it seems like a good setup for roadracing when you dont transfer the braking to the front (front lock/left foot brake) and just need soem extra clamping force up front

but for a full on drift car...z32 f/r is really the best imo

So I guess it is good and worth it since the lower z32 mount is on the way(d2 coilovers)...

if D2 has a threaded lower shock case then buy the Z32 lower mount case only

the upper shock does not have the sam estyle as S13..sorry bub!

if it isnt and the body is steel you can just buy some Z32 lower mounts and if you're a good welder cut the old lower mount off and weld the new Z32 one on..Bam no problem

dont gotta worry about strength, if you do it right it'll be stronger because the weld joint is stronger than the metal around it.

i just think Z32 upright is dumb.

because i put R32 subframe..soooo

Yes, the lower shock mount is threaded.. and yes, that is the z32 part that I bought for it... I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing.
