RWD Struts Converted to FWD Style Coilovers

[WDE_BDY]

Currently looking to convert my TT132 struts to FWD style coilovers (where shock uses 2 bolts to bolt to hub/upright). So will basically need a bracket attached to the normal strut tube for the coilover to bolt to, will look like this -


Has anyone else done this and do you have any detailed pics? I have no problem getting it done, but wanted to hear feedback from others. Looking to use off the shelf S13 coilovers with dual adjustability (height and preload) with cambertops in my KE70. Using the TT132 struts for the bigger stub axle to run MS65 hubs, although looking at maybe going to RA23/28 struts to make caliper mounts easier. Do you see any issues with the angle the shock will be acting relative to the camber top? if necessary I will look at moding the strut tower to reduce this angle.

The S13 coilovers you want to use already use this format. For simplicity, reliability and cost you can just use the matching S13 uprights at the same time. Its been done many times before...

There are other issues with the S13 setup which mean I don't want to go that way, already have my wheel placement sorted so only looking at the height adjustability issues.

Bump.
Any other feedback from anyone?
