Hey whats up guys? Curious if anybody has swapped a rear suspension from a s15 into there s13/s14. I was watching a video(Yashio Factory) and they were showing the physical difference in construction. The s15 rear sub-frame was built to stronger specs than the s14's. I know many have swapped the hsld into the s14 but i have yet come across anybody who swapped the entire rear sub. I am wondering if any one has done this and if the a noticed a significant difference.

it would be pretty difficult to get a hold of an s15 rear subframe in the states....your better of swapping the z32 rear subframe.

Will the Z32 bolt right in? and if so what are the advantages?

from what i have seen the z32 suspension will require cutting and welding past any of my mechanical abilities. I am curious as to why it would be more difficult to import a rear half, when front half cuts are plentiful.

I've done it twice so far, and ones R32 subframe into S13...You will need S15 rear subframe, S15 rear lower arms, S15 rear toe arms, S14, S15, R32, J30 diff, S13 ABS M/T drive shaft, for other arms they will be ok. Solid offset bushing is optional unless if you want to spend $300.00....Let me know if you can find cheaper offset bushing for S13 to R32 or S15 subframe
