Hey, I have a hicas-s13, I would like to swap in a non-hicas subframe…other than the subframe (ill do the aluminum bushings at the same time), what else is needed to run the non-hicas subframe?
Thanks
Subframe, spindles, Toe arms. That should be it. And either non-hicas p/s pump or loop the hicas lines.
if you bought the complete subframe then its a drop out put in deal. if you have abs which you most likly do since your hicas, make sure ur non hicas diff is abs as well or you will be an inch or so short on the drive shaft (i ran my car like that for the year i had swapped from abs to non abs rear end) some people say its bad but i had no problems with it. what i did with the hicas lines was looped them around the clutch dampner box up on the frame so they wernt hanging and catch on something. Make sure your car is high enough in the air. leave the wheels on ur old sub frame ur taking out so you can roll it out of the way easyer cause they are heavy as fuck fully assembled
