    LOL where did you get the idea that S13 front end gear into an AE86 will make them handle any better?

    gave the dorifto boys the chance to get more steering angle, it does make a bigger brake conversion easier and up until recently was the easy way to get coilovers. Steering geometry goes out the window and the bump steer numbers i have heard meant handling jumped straight after

    i find the handling to be better, but i did have missmatched springs and shocks previously.

    and yes the bumpsteer is shithouse.

    I'm a tad confused how the handling can be better with shit bumpsteer ?

    No doubt it'll feel stiffer and corner flatter with the coilovers and if it's stiff enough i guess bumpsteer won't be an issue but only good for billiard table smooth race tracks.

    100% sure a better handling result could have been achieved by modding the AE86 parts.

    Not a mod i could recommend to anyone unless they are prepared to do alot of work to address the bumpsteer issue.
