Would be nice but there are no S13's here and lately this is like Cuba, so no buying abroad.. anyway i was thinking on the 205 kit only because of general size and weight of the car being similar, but i could use any hatch kit for that matter..

hello everyone so we just mounted the first strut to the justy surprisingly went very well had to make a few modifications to the strut top plate but wasn't to much we decided not to make the adapters in the end they would have had to be more complicated then the picture i uploaded Attachments:
