    you think there would be any other solution on the tie rods and rack ends so i can buy off the shelf pillow ball items?

    im in the process of doing this now, and let me tell you all that any 8 inch or so neg offset wheel wont fit too well inside the arches!

    if you want to use nissan aftermarket tie rod ends, you can use S15 tie rods with MX83 rack ends. this is what i was going to use for my conversion but my car doesnt see the track so uber strong tie rods arent a priority.

    Here's how I did my S13 LCA. Mind you I did this conversion over 6 months ago, so all I had to go on was Nimon's original DIY thread, and did a bit of research and got a engineer and a guy from a steering rack business to put there 2c worth and ideas in, and I reckon it turned out pretty good. I didn't think about how the S13 hub is slight different though, so as some people said earlier in the thread, if you use LCA's that are the same length as stock AE86 LCA's, then you won't really have much camber. This is what seems to have happened on my car, although I don't have the weight of a motor and gearbox in the car yet, and I also haven't played much with the setting on the coilovers, but I'm considering getting another set of S13 LCA's and just running them as they are, eg maximum length, but yeah I'l wait and see what my settings are and what the camber looks like once the car is driving again in a few weeks. Here's some pictures:










    Those bolts with the sleeves in the above pic are the little bastards that I had to get lathed up so the AE86 camber tops I had would bolt into the S13 coilovers. The bolts that came with the coilovers were only a smidgen off not fitting the camber tops.

    Granted the geometry might be out a touch now with the S13 gear in there, but I don't reckon it's as bad as ImprovedAE86 or Dxaqta would have people believe.

    Oh yeah, as EVOSTi commented on above, I used S15 tie rods with MX83 rack ends.

    Cheers, Daniel.
