S14 coilover conversion

[PISTONMELTER5]

Is it the front or rear s14 coilovers you use to convert the front of the volvo to coilover suspension?
been looking through a few threads and have seen a one say front and the other say rear
What exactly needs doing to convert them? is it just a matter of grinding down and welding the s14 ones to the volvo hub?
any clarification would be appreciated!

In short you dont.

When converting to coil overs you can use the nissan top mount

As above, you can either send your volvo shocks to gaz or make your own, evenythings in here really http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... =5&t=13528

what i was planning was to use the s14 coilover itself! As a mate has a set cheap i was planning on machining out the steering knuckle ever so slightly so that the s14 coilover fits into it and then weld it up so its all nice and secure, was then going to extend the original strut tops by about 2 inches so ive a good bit of adjustability and then redrill it to fit the s14 top mount bolt pattern as you would have to do anyway when extending the turrets
