the hard part would be the lower control arms.

apparently if you have a sodding big press, u can put the s13 balljoint into the sigma control arms...

apart from that you hvae to get a bigger master cylinder, and also i think run 15" wheels... but not sure

Just watch out what coilovers you buy... different ones have different ranges of height adjustment,

best ones to buy would be ones that have height adjustment + spring adjustment, the ones I have in mine sat low in a S13 (even at their max height which was just by adjusting the spring) which is too low for an AE86...
I've since replace the Gas inserts with ones with longer pistons so there cool now... so it can be done if you make my mistake...

don't need to worry about the Master Cylinder tho, the stock 86 is fine... oh and 15" wheel are needed for SR brakes (the 14"s I had scrapped on something so I didn't look further) I think you can use 14" wheel with CA brakes tho...
