I have Tokico blues and Eibach. I do want to go lower, but not yet sure how. Bags are the preferred choice. How about everyone else?

I have heard of that on Y33, and of course Z32 on G50.

Actually The Y33 I was looking at before I got the G50 had this done. At the time, I did not have enough money for it. He wanted my 240 & $2,000. I got my G50 for the 240 straight up.

I've got it done on my Y33 right now....although it was after Yokata threw his post up on VSC. I don't think there are many of these setups stateside. I've see a few JDM VIP vehicles with the conversion.

Mine is a full S14 conversion, I've gotta pick up some coilovers but it is done, aligned and I've been driving on it for a couple of days now. My boy Amir helped me knock it out.....We've been chipping away at it for several weeks now.

No I'm running the coils that we make on the back right now and waiting for the new fronts to come back from the second prototype production.

I am running 300zx FUCA, RUCA, and 240sx Tension Rods with Sessions coilovers. Still waiting to get the sessions coils should be here soon though.

I got my fucas and rucas and tension rods b4 the coils, when you drop it you change the geometry and you wont be able to drive it without adjustable camber arms probably.

Still not sure what to get. Maybe the Z32 setup will be the way for me to go right now.

i'm not sure you need to do the s13 conversion. The reason it is desirable in the Y chassis is due to the wider range of coilovers and suspension components that are available for the S13/S14, as well as eliminating the spindle incorporated strut issue. Basically more adjustability.

The G50 chassis doesn't have the spindle incorporated issue and I believe a lot of the Z32 stuff bolts up. I'd be rocking this setup if I were a G50 owner.

OK I see. Well, I guess I better start looking for some Z32 stuff. The only thing I'm worried about is using the front struts on the rear with those custom brackets. Does anyone know exactly what Damicci is running?

I wouldn't run z32 coils if that's what you're talking about.

SPL z32 section has diagrams of the mutilink suspension on the z32. If you notice almost all of them are the same! Lower control arms anyone?
