-headers rsr
-complete exhaust
-front strut bar cusco
-gab front shock and blue coil ... getting replace with an s13 stance coilovers 9k
-rear agx shocks and cutted springs -_- allready replaced with T3 coilover 7k

Any reason why you chose S13 front, and how are you going to tune out the bump-steer?

well first for the big brakes, more angle, more track and a ton of parts available ( i now there is alot for 86 too :P ) and love more the disk over hub setup than under-hub.

as for the bumper steer ill know when i get to drive it, the alignement guy might help me with that. now ill be running early datsun bluebird 910 trx tie rod end. maybe ill need t3 with spherical joints, dont know yet... do you recommend anything?
