That's bad! It doesn't bother me much cos it's a daily, but if it was the 33 I'd be fixing it quickly.
Can OvaBoost fix it for you? Not too hard to remove I don't think... (haven't removed an RB sump before). Otherwise it's a good reason to upgrade to something baffled ;)

Shouldn't be too hard to remove, easier on a hoist though. What sort up bigger capacity dumps do they have for RB30s?

^^ Lolwut?
R32 vs S13 coilovers ?

Rear coilovers Do. Front's definately dont.

S13 front strut top = 3 stud.
R32 front strut top = 2 stud.

Completely different suspension setup up front.

As for R31 - Can't comment.

S13s fit the front and I think R32s can be modified to fit. Problem is I'll need the S13 or HR31 hubs as well, plus the brakes. It all adds up :confused:
At this point in time, I don't want to modify it because I don't know how long I'll keep it before I upgrade it again.

R32 and S13 share the same rear suspension.
I know this for a fact.

I know for a fact that R32 and S13 FRONT suspension is nothing alike, apart from the base.
Socs + Rhys, please re-read my prior post :)

PS: Modify front strut towers to take R32 suspension? Don't. Seriously. It'll weaken strut top and smash its way through it. Replacing engine bay panels that assist structure of the car = bitch of a job.

Do it properly, do it once.

Also keep in mind that 31 wagon rears are different to sedans. When I ordered and bought my 31 sedan springs I had to specify the body type.

Yeah, was going to say that. The sedan rears Macpherson struts, arent they? No coilovers in the rear of the wagons :(

No, not leaf sprung. Haha.

I'm having bad ideas about an RB20 :confused:
Also my mate is taking over my WTB thread on SAU:
