thats just it, if your running a 4a set up, be it NA or turbo, then stick with the 86 stuff, it can be made to work well
86 strut + FC rotor combo is heavier then a s13 strut + SR brakes, not by much tho.
plenty of wheel bearing failures out there mate, i destroyed several in my old blue 86 running 15X8.5 -15 on the fronts, replaced with new and after some hard track days they were noisy again. compared with s13 hub bearings.. the 86 ones are way undersized.
but yes i like both set ups... i just believe that if you go the SR swap then u may as well do the S13 susp (and crossmember + steering) and have a good all round package. it does drive really well... like a factory car and with no bad behaviours.
cmon simon it does work well just takes a few years to get it all right (see 4 lol) cant say ive driven either a well setup toyota front or nissan only setup. but still get the rods hyper extending in the s13 stuff!!!! never heard that from toyota!!!
AE86 THE BEST
