ok so what i have is.
L20b motor (l18 sump and pickup)
180b crossmember with 180b lower control arms
stanza sss dogleg 5 speed
questions are:
will the radius rods and tie rods bolt up without any modifications?
and what if i wanted to beef up the suspension will stanza struts or r31 struts fit nice and hook up to the tie rods and radius rods without any changes in camber?

will a camber kit remove the negative camber on the 180b front end swap?
why does the 180b member introduce bump steer? is it because the member sits too far forward?

1. Need 180B radius rods, not sure on tie rods
2. 180B or 200B are the better options for struts as they're shorter than the stanza strut. I don't believe R31 bolts up without a form of spacer.
3. Negative camber is goooooooood mmmkayyy.
4. Bump steer is caused by the control arm not being parallel to the tie rod through it's arc of motion.

edit: 2. 180B and R31 do have a larger ball joint taper so my thoughts were based on the Stanza\sunny\late ute\late 120y arms.

although not really fussed about the negative camber
i cant see why shorter struts will be a benefit because i heard the stanza ones were the same length as the 120y ones just beefed up in the suspension / braking zone as well as hearing that r31 strut tops fit well in a 120y front
arent 200b struts the ones with the huge strut top that sticks out like a sore thumb and dont fit in the towers without elongating them

have you seen page one of my thread? I compare 120Y, Stanza (with lowered king springs) and Cusco S13 struts. I threw out the standard stanza springs as they made the car sit noticably higher than the 120Y strut/spring that I previously removed. I should of kept them for some cheap khanacross parts.
