    S13 front end is good, easy and cheap.

    Falcons fit at the back, so do rear AE86, same with shocks.

    From all accounts the ra60 KPI is different to ae86 (which are around 8.5-9 deg) so the struts wouldn't work unless you want super sick neg.

    The steering arms are different in the bolt spacing so you'd have to change them too.

    The strut tubes are the same size though, so an ae86 coil over kit would fit, as would damper inserts.

    King springs are $120 a pair brand new.
