so I've been lurking the club-S12.org board looking at what people have been doing with their S12s, and I have come across some interesting suspension/chassis parts available for their cars.
reading their discussions, it's for sure the IRS suspension is exactly the same as a Z31, and there is debate that the front suspension is either the same as a 280ZX or 300ZX, with evidence of the same strut tube/springs as the 280Z but parts like Z31 tension rod bushings working perfectly as well in the S12 200SX.
so with that, I bring some interesting parts available to the S12 community that could potentially work for the Z31 crowd:
A-1 Racing tie rods for the 84-88 200SX: listed as being used for S13 hub conversions, but others on the forum have stated they work just fine with stock suspension bits as well and are direct drop in

MMR catalog for the S12 200SX: lots of random bushings and tie bars, in particular interest (to me at least) is the passenger side steering rack bushing, billet aluminum tranny mount and the fact that some of the bushings are available in delrin instead of polyurethane as an alternative to the only ones we've known to be available to us

more as I find it
anyone else that knows something, please contribute!
