S13 stuff has been fitted before in varying degrees.
Dont be sucked in just because you see cheap coilover suspension for silvias.
From memory it can involve custom rack-n-pinion steering, control arms, engineer approval if used on the street and modified rear strut towers amongst other things.
If it was easy or cheap im sure everyone would be doing it already, but they arn't...

I looked hard at S13 rear suspension for my SSS. I could have had the bits dirt cheap so I did a heap of measuring..... and gave it a miss as the body mounts aren't even close.

One day I'd like to change the rear suspension to something better, but rather than adapting the S13 stuff there is an easier way (especially if you can fabricate the bits). Have you ever seen a photo of the rear suspension of George Fury's old Group C turbo Bluebird?
