Just wondering if there are any advantages other than they’re beefier?  
I know you’ll need shock mount adapters if you want to use them, and I read they’re more or less straight bolt-on for S13’s with the changing of a bearing or two.

Got the uprights with my Z32 e-brake stuff and they’re just sitting lol  
Thanks

Research the benefits of reduced unspung weight. Basically the wheel can follow bumps in the road easily and maintain traction.

The benefits mightt be important if because racecar…

If it’s a daily driver which MIGHT see SOME track time I don’t think you’ll notice ANYTHING!
