why do want to do that, is it for brakes or adjustability. The issues you'll hit are the bottom ball joint hence think may need customised control arm.

i wanto to lower my ute and whant better brakes but i not very familiar about what are you saying bottom ball joint whats that??? and the lower control arm?? i dont know those parts

please i need a really good explanation of all i need to do

thanks

help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey
steering linkage can be found in tech wiki

Its a big job and will take time, will need custom parts. I was and still thinking about doing this setup, my list was

s13 coilovers + hubs/knuckes
s13 outer tie rods (need to re-thread inner rod bolts to different size)
r31 control arms (need to drill out cross member for bigger bolts
r31 castor rods (cut/shorten)
re-drill sway bar holes

Shorten original struts, ask around about the bit of metal plate someone here has made up to make it possible to bolt S13 brakes to original struts, save weight, save time and make it easy on yourself.

Its reasonably well explained in tech wiki. http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawi ... .php?title=S13_Strut_Swap
Go there first, might also want to familiarise yourself with the various parts hanging off the macpherson strut.
