Ka86 coupe Drift project with s13 suspension setup

[EnvyMotorsports]

does anyone know of a list that shows what parts from which cars you have to use to do the s13 front suspension conversion?

s13 front subframe, knuckle, lca, tension rod and tie rod, struts with coilovers i guess.

i thought you had to use the ae86 lcas

S13 subframe is not necessary - AE86 subframe can host S13 lca's with a little modification on the mouting holes. Tension rod - can be used from AE86 too, roll bar end links can be used from AE86 too - just you need to redrill holes on LCA's for mounting.

Here is the clean pictures of S13 knuckles / arms / coilovers mounted in AE86 subframe, along with AE86 tension rods / AE86 rollbar:

Does anyone know a company that makes and sells the mounts needed for the swap?

[fantapants]

what mounts???? there are no mounts needed for the front, and the rear is def a custom job dependant on your own requirements as to where you place the subframe.

there is no problem in useing the s13 crossmember at the front, it helps keep the stearing "normalised"

it pushs the front track out further but you can use r31 lca to bring the track back a bit or use an aftermarket tubular lca to get a shorter track and increased lock.

But, will the ae86 parts be strong enough? they are not build to be used with a lot more weight/horsepower.

With this mindset you might want to rethink the whole ordeal. It's not a honda, swap kits are rare. Experience shows that if you have to ask others for every single thing involved in the swap, you will have a hard time finishing your project.

That being said, it's not meant as a judgment, I wish you all the best in pulling the modifications off. Just read around a bit more on the forum, there are a fair few nissan-toyota bastard cars out there.
