[s-cars] Some E-S2 pictures on Motorgeek

[Ben Swann]

I'm using the complete front suspension from a B3 90 - '93 model 90 that is.  The
susension has drop link swaybar and requires swap of subframe, larger torsion bar, strut
assemblies.

I plan to either go one step further with a set of those struts modified with coilover
or to just install the H&R/Bilstien combination that was on the car - that was fine, so
may just start with that.

I havn't touched the rear and won't for awhile.

The brake upgrade will coincide with 5 lug hub conversion and 17" wheels. I need to find
out if one needs to use S2 hubs, or if I can get away with a US 5 lug hub, say from
200Q20V ( I have ), or S4/S6 or some other.  

In the mean time, I've done enough for now and once I get the shift linkage in order and
interior back together, I would like to enjoy the work done so far.

Ben

-------Hi Ben,  looks like you are having fun.  Thanks for the pics and info.    About
suspension mods, are you going to change the swaybars ?  ifso,  where do you get other
replacement bars?  New , used from  ? , or made up by yourself ?      ...Thanks,
