I discovered that you can press out the balljoints in the rear spindle for the hicas toe arms and press them right back into a stock s-13 rear spindle. CRISIS AVERTED! YAY! That means that my buddy that is buying the 5-lug conversion CAN use the rear 5-lug, he just needs to buy some energy bushings to press into the j-30 upright. I am tossing around the idea of him upgrading to the j-30 rear brakes as well as he now has a 30mm 300zx front set-up and the j-30 rears should bring the brake bias a bit more towards the rear. I know that z fronts with 240 rears LOVE to lock up the fronts and this might be a cheap solution for him.
