just drop the whole rear suspension in one unit from both cars much easier to bolt up in one piece and no adjustment of toe or messing with ball joints

Re: 1992 bb1 si-vtec jdm import, 2ws conversion
sounds good to me and at the same time I've also noticed that the rear bushes on the lower control arms are polybushed and it also has new stabiliser links too and no abs so gonna be swiping the proportioning valve too and my mate is going to help me remove my abs as well seen as I have everything now to do the deletemercutio wrote:just drop the whole rear suspension in one unit from both cars much easier to bolt up in one piece and no adjustment of toe or messing with ball joints

In reality though you are only replacing the 4WS motor with a 2WS subframe and the toe arms.

awesome looks easy enough to do providing that the subframe bolts on the donor car come off easy that's all I'm concerned aboutMerlin wrote:like this:mercutio wrote:just drop the whole rear suspension in one unit from both cars much easier to bolt up in one piece and no adjustment of toe or messing with ball joints

Re: 1992 bb1 si-vtec jdm import, 2ws conversion
thats the plan buddy I've just been to the car to do some stuff and all the subframe bolts came loose easy as heck which I'm surprised at as the car has been sat for around 5-6 years this made me very happy lol also managed to get some other wee bits n pieces off the car to sell, don't suppose u know how much the rear rooftop mount brake light is worth coz I have one with the roof panel as wellmercutio wrote:Thats exactly right so much easier to do it like that

Re: 1992 bb1 si-vtec jdm import, 2ws conversion
That's the lude just about ready for its conversion to 2ws the rear subframe just to be painted, buy some brake pipe for the abs delete, fit Goodrich braided lines and boom done, can't wait polybushed rear subframe so should handle so much better
