S13 Silvia Coilovers on a 510...
I have a set of old s13 coilovers with camber plates kickin around. Has anyone modified a set onto there 510 ? If so whats involved ?Looking at either doing s13 conversion if its somewhat easy or just going with the full techno toys setup. Thanks.

It's been pretty well documented here.

If you wanted to start fresh, I'd recommend a weld on setup for an AE86 since that chassis is light like a 510 and it uses one-piece struts so the motion ratio and damping should work pretty well in a 510. The AE86 damping would likely be better than S13 for the reasons stated above.
I would steer clear of trying to graft 2 piece S13 struts to a 510 and leave it as just s13 coilovers mounted to 510 or zx or s12 etc struts of your choice.
Hope that helps a bit.
