looked at what i was told to be a 180sx rear subframe. however it had stock 5 bolt hubs and the axles were 6 bolt. the sway bar was also a different shape, instead of a loop, it had a different bend. did any 180s ever come with this setup? brake calipers said L K 32 on them. could this maybe be a R32/R33 rear subframe? is an R32/R33 rear subframe compatible with a S13? will it fit in without any modifacations? is the R32/R33 a better subframe then a stock 180? comes with diff also. is what i saw actually a 180sx rear subframe?

Looks like S13 calipers to me dude.

6-bolt is NA. Perhaps someone converted the subframe to 5-bolt.

Less work = hooray for you?
