ns.com has a big write up done by simon, i think it was when they did the conversion in leightons car.

how much longer are the arms compared to the stock ones?
does the swaybar/tie rod fit, or do the mounts need to be relocated (drilled)

From memory, you can use the s13 swaybar mounts, they are 390mm from end to end.

I think if you search this has already been covered lots of time everywhere , and in this forum there was a thread on coilovers that had some pics and information on such conversions
