    Or the expensive way:

    You could use s14 hubs as per the Toymods article for s13 suspension in the ae86 and use a 5 stud hilux diff.

    VN/VP commodore rotors fit the RA40 stub axle, if you want to convert to RA40 struts, but the RA40 struts will have adverse effects on front-end geometry (the details of this i am not totally informed of, but it is apparently a bad thing... can anybody elaborate?)

    The other problem is the commodore rotors are very heavy... the weight could be worked around by using billet hubs made for converting VN/VP commodores to VT brakes (they use a rotor hat over the hub), but you're still stuck with the RA40 struts.

    A caliper bracket would also be required for either of these combinations. And then you need to match a diff. All $$$...

    i heard that silvia offsets are not suited to sprinters. correct me if im wrong.

    also they are 4 stud anyway. well the older ones are. unless its a new one.
