OK.

I have an option video and in that video they swap the rear suspension crossmember from an s15 into an s13 silvia. The do this while upgrading the suspension all around.

Has anyone seen this???

Does anyone know how to do this or what practical gains it would help you attain??

I am very interested because I dont speak any japanese and thus am lost with this video.

Also, they do this at a place called Yashio Factoryhttp:/www.yashiofactory.co.jp (i think...)

any thing would be greatthanks:help

Rear 'subframe', and yes it has been done. The S14 and S15 share the same basic layout, arms, etc., but the S15 has a little more structure to it. Swapping either one into an S13 takes more work because it's psyhically wider by about an inch. Not worth it for any real purpose unless you find one laying around and get bored.

yes, it really seems silly to put that much work into a car for just that one race, don't it?

I really think there has to be more benefit to it than r240na thinks. Like I said, it just seems to me there must be some kind of payoff. Perhapse just a geometry thing. Who knows...

Again, silly.
