I is been running my factory slut tops for about 3 years now with tokiko HTS and 8KG spring rate and have shown the car no mercy whatsoever every time i drive it everyday.
Loves it, the rubbers show no sign of damage.

top stuff. getting my car ready to engineer. need the brake upgrade, and want more steering lock. but dont have much coin at the moment. thanks
might just run s13 coilovers and just leave the stock strut tops for a while
glad to here you guys arent having troubles. thats why i made sure i said 'may' go through the rubber as i have never personally seen this, only heard rumours.
question for those who have used bluebird tie rods: i ordered some tie rods today from my parts supplier, just asked for 83 TRX tie rods. got them, they fit the rack ends fine but they arent a good fit for the s13 stub axle. which model bluebird tie rods are people using? maybe the later FWD ones? if its any help, the ones i have are marked left and right, they have a kink on both sides.
nah nah...use bluebird rack ends....ra40 ra60 ma60 tie rod ends...
im not sure what bluebird...i just asked for early bluebird ones...

^^ thanks stomp. i'll update the front page now we have a definate answer, my fault guys i was told they were bluebird tierod ends
stomp, are you sure? a few people have said that the celica tie rods dont fit real well into the s13 spindles. i already have the celica rack ends and they fit the sprinter rack well and are longer.
just did this conversion in my car.. woooooot! is all i have to say this rocks. i used RA60 rack ends and Bluebird TRX tierods.. if you dont know what model, mentioning series 3 may help.
celica tie rod ends have a different taper to the s13 steering knuckle, they'd do the job but make a bit of racket.
thanks Gilly you're a champ for writing this up.
i'm guessing u meant ra40/ra60/ma60 RACK ends.. and bluebird TIEROD ends??
thats what i thought. so you can confirm you use TRX tie rods? series 3? cheers dude
yup, i got em new from repco 40 bucks each.. just asked for TRX bluebird tie rod ends.. there was only one trx bluebird, the other trx is a piniata and u dont want those ones
