I’ve m trying to figure out what’s needed to get r32 GTR front suspension stuff in my s13. It looks like lower control arm and tension are will bolt it.

I’ve send people do strut tower swaps and I’m wondering how different the coil mount location is. And if anyone has a suggestion because sourcing a strut tower sounds like a pain and trying to minimize cost.

Full Race also built an AWD S14 but all the pics are gone from all the posts now and they don't have anything on their website about it anymore.

From looking at some pictures of the original R14, it doesn't look like he hacked up the strut towers that much to fit it all together. From the little reading I did, he had custom shocks built, probably using a custom top hat on a more standard R32 lower body. The speedhunters article I was reading also mentioned that they wound up using the OEM shock tower mounting holes to help locate the upper control arm of the double wishbone.

Have you tried contacting Geoff? I met him years ago and at the time, seemed like a very nice guy. Very open to have good discussions with people who wanted to try something out of the ordinary.
