Hey guys I've done a lot of searching but still have some questions left unanswered.

First I've got a 90 fastback. Suspension is worn and needs replacing. I want to get the Stance GR+ Pro coilovers (waiting for the autornd guys to get back to work haha)...but I don't know if it will clear my stock wheels:

Last month I bought z32: Front and rear calipers/pads/rotors, ebrake assembly, BMC, rear hubs, and uprights. I originally wanted to save up my money and do everything at once (suspension, 5 lug conversion, wheels/tires, brake upgrade). But seeing as I need to take care of the car I'm gonna have to get the coilovers now and wait on the brakes and wheels.

What I'd like to do if it can be done is get the Stance's with the z32 mounts and go ahead and swap the z32 uprights while doing the coilovers. Will the z32 uprights work with my stock brakes for the next couple of months? From what I've researched it looks like the same mounting point for the calipers. Will my s13 ebrake and 4 lug hubs and everything work with the z32 uprights until I can complete the brake swap, 5 lug swap, and new wheels? If not I'll have to get the coilovers with the s13 lower mounts, save up my money, and then do the rest at once...but I'd rather take care of the coilovers and uprights at the same time so I don't have to track down the lower mounts for the z32 later.

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

it will work but im assuming that you still have the ebrake assembly on the z32 upright (correct).
so you wont be able use the s13 rotor since it wouldnt clear the ebrake assembly. and you couldnt be able to use the z32 rotor since the stock s13 caliper wont work with that rotor, i think.

Yeah the ebrake assembly is still attached, I want to dissassemble it all and put all the S13 stuff on the Z32 upright.

oh ok well if you take it off you should be ok
just swap out the rear 4lug hubs and bolt on everything else.

Remove ebrake and Z32 parts, install S13 parts. Three minutes total.

Alright thanks that's what I assumed from my research but I needed to check.

For the million dollar question: Will my wheels clear the stances?

couple things I found out just completing the z32 rear uprights. The rear main seal looking thing in the Z32 is the dust seal and it's different than the STD washer seal you have. They're also like $15 each at nissan. Ghey. Make sure you have the cone shaped inserts in the bottom of the z32 units. The shock mount seems a little more outboard than the stock unit but nothing much. You should be fine.
