[newbissan-tech]

hey guys im collecting parts for my z32 rear brake upgrade and i plan on using the z32 rear spindles. i'm just wondering what options there are for coilovers in the s14 with this conversion?? i know its been done just wondering what companies offer this hybrid coilover setup?

you're talking about coilovers that offer fork type rears for z32 rear knuckles right?

most high end coilovers offer them upon ordering, just make sure you specify.

As far as entry level coilovers, I know companies like KTS and Tein also offer them (except tein basics). Good luck trying to buy the fork housing separately though, I already had a close friend literally BEG tein just to sell him the rear forks for his tein super drifts... but they wouldn't budge

thanks man i remembered seeing those a while back. so you think if i let the company i choose to purchase from know my set up i should be able to get the rears with the z32 mounting perch? i've heard k sport's are really good, any suggestions? what about those kts' also? they look good! thanks for the input adrians_s13!

k sports plus I don't even think they offer rear z32 fork brackets

kts I even gave the direct link to their coilovers in my last post that even shows the option for rear z32 fork brackets

okay, here's the question that'll narrow things down: what is your coilover budget?

Buy a piece of good quality aluminum bar stock and take it down to a machine shop and have a set made.

I am making some myself. I am an mechanical engineer, a Non destructive examiner and have access to a machine shop.

you mean like the meagan ones that screw onto the body, cause if so that would be easy my brother is foreman of a machine shop and programs cnc's, this would be a cake walk!
