S2 hubs onto an S1?

Other than the obvious difference in wheel pcd and offset..

Car you mount S2 uprights onto an S1?

Reason behind this is to get the stronger wheel bearings from the S2.. I asume you would need the uprights form a K engined S2 on the rear end.

You'd need to replace all four uprights and the driveshafts. You'd also need to change the brake discs but I think that's about it. Oh, and you'll need different bits for your toe-links.

If you wanna do it I may know someone who has all the parts.

Dan, I had thought the S2 wishbones were longer? I'm sure I'd read the K powered cars are longer by about 8mm or so; it always seemed to make sense to me whith the changes in the hubs, offset etc...

The driveshafts are longer but the wishbones are exactly the same dimensions. At least the ones I measured were. Don't know about the toyota engined ones.

Interesting one - i've just killed another 2 on the Mule :cry:

Think it really depends on how much kerb and sideways action you give them, but they are a weak link :roll:

Just about cried when i realised that Atom had them also :blackeye

Think I'll be taking 4 with me on FF8 :cheers
