uhh…so yeah

I need to know what subframes will work on an S13.

Will an S14 subframe work? or an S15 subframe?

Or will I have to just stick with another S13 subframe?

What about Z32, R32, etc?

anybody know?

Thanks in advance.

Don’t you need pretty much an S15’s entire rear suspension to make the subframe work?

I can also get a complete z32 rear subframe if interested…

there is no major benefit to be had from swapping to a S14 / S15 subframe that cant be had with the S13 subframe.

i hear that the S14 is wider but a wider stance can be achieved by wheels and tires.

another S13 subframe will be cheaper and easier to find. you can swap out the diff and arms later if you want.

I think Bob might have a spare subframe for sale.
