Hey guys,

just picked up new bunky last night '86 R31 .. makes me a bit sea sick.

chasing info on what people have put it and what is cost effective.. it looks like its pretty much got new nolathane bushes most places.. only thing im pretty set on is getting a whiteline swaybar kit for rear to stiffen it up.

it has a bad suspension rattle in the front which my housemate said is the steer rack ends (they have a bit of play in them) so ive ordered new rack ends and new front balljoints as well (cost all of $100 all up).. anything else people have had experience with? (someone else has suggested the front strut damper inserts may be loose or not in properly).

Any suggestions/recommendations on what to get, and what NOT to get?

cheers

Forkout for a s13 coilover conversion, not super exxy

Speak to Stevo-R31 i think his user name is.

Easy then, and having been in Steves car, it handles incredibly well, also gets out pretty hard when it wants to.

Anyone know if s13 coilovers bolt straight in the back of the car?
