Hi everyone im new here, picked up s13 coupe the other day(already in love)so i plan on sticking around learning from what the "veterans" around here have to offer. first off i tried searching but didnt get any "solid" results or answers.

first the car: 1992 white coupe
bone stock from what i can tell other than
300z brakes & 5 lug conversion

my question is with this setup do i need to look into specific coils? im assuming i have a z32 knuckle or am i mistaken on this setup? i dont want to purchase $1000+ in suspension only to find out i made the wrong purchase. any help would be amazing, i came from the honda world (simple) so im looking to learn as much as i can

its simple. both spl and stance sell a lower mount that threads onto regular s13 coilovers and will allow it to adapt to a 300zx rear upright.

what rear shock are you running right now? a Z shock?

from what i know(not much) yes it looks to be a stock z32 shock, thank you for the reply, i wonder if the stance adapter will fit on most coils? might have a sweet deal on pbm, or some d2's ;/

as far as i know the adaptor fits multiple different shock types. you may wanna email em and double check what thread pitch and size it is.

thank you very much i will do that, as for the front suspension being 5 lug swapped as well and big brakes, will i order s13 coils and modify them? or s14?

Order s13 coils, front and rear. The fronts will fit, even if you have s14 front spindles.
