Z31 Coilovers

[nismobizmo]

Hey so it has come to my attention that to have coilovers on your z31, you have to do some cut and welding to mod your s13 coilover to your z31 strut tubes. but theres another way but its a little more costly.Ive been told that using S13 spindles with S13 lower control arms and just bolt up the coilovers and it will work,but the pictures that i have seen most car owners do this mod on 88 Z31. I did quite a bit of research and it seems to be that the 88 300zx tention rod and bracket are different then then my 86 300zx, so the question that i ask is would i have to change my tension rod bracket and get new rods to use the spindle and lower control arm OR will it work with my stock 86 bracket and rods?

 

Here are my refrencense if you guys need to be filled in

The problem with using s13 spindles,control arms,etc is that the sai angle is way off. In some cases positive cambers/caster(don't remem which) increases the more you turn. But in some cases it can be managed but it usually suits the driver. On the z31performance.net there's a giant amount of info for coilovers for the z31. I used serial 9 adapters with kts coilovers and gotit dropped quite a ways,felt good.
