    Default S13 into Ae86 Coilover Setup

    Hey Guys,
    I have tried every search that I could think of but I don't seem to be able to find what I am looking for.

    I've just picked up a Ae86 that is running a S13 front brake and coilover conversion. I am looking to reduce the severity of the front camber by moving the bottom of the wheel in and not the top of the wheel out.

    Is there an adjustable LCA that will bring the length back to close to stock Ae86 length??

    Would this cause an issue with the current setup??

    If you could point me to any good threads detailing further mods that would be a great help. I will keep looking though.

    Cheers

    the issue with the front suspension is that it is from a nissan silvia

    you could get someone capable to cut and shut your lca to bring it in

    It depends a lot on what LCAs you're running at the moment. From memory S13 arms are about 10mm shorter than MX62, both of which work with slight modification.

    Cutting and shutting your arms or changing to adjustable rose joints at the inner end are both entirely possible solutions too.

    If your current setup is running s13 lca's you could swap them for r31 lca's, they're shorter and should but straight up

    Tie rod end / rack end length is going to come into play, it will be pigeon toed.
    How much adjustment is there?

    This ^ from my personal experience I was running a s13 lca and swapped it out for a r31 lca. Got rid of the excessive camber issue with sill plenty that can be dialed in or out with camber tops
