The front suspension was completely replaced, so I won't write about the work done; everything will be clear from the photos and captions. Special thanks to my father for bearing the painting, welding, and lathe work.
Front Suspension Kit:
Bolts with upper mounts from S14
Hubs and brake assemblies GX81
Steering knuckles GX81
Brake hoses GX81
Pillars to hubs, lathe work Handmade
Rings for upper mounts, cut on a machine Handmade
Reinforced and rebuilt control arms GX61
Stabilizer bar GX61 (much stronger and sturdier than the original)
Front stabilizer bushing made of polyurethane 1-01-202
Polyurethane bushings for stabilizer links 0-02-016
Stock MX41 tensioners
Holes had to be enlarged slightly, no more than a millimeter

Reinforcement and base for the strut brace made of steel 4mm fits tightly and prevents the pillars from breaking
Steering wheel set to positive camber position
Maximum negative camber setting
The pillar is made from an unpainted hydraulic cylinder so there's no doubt about its strength
Same but painted and with brake hose attachments
Air vent hole, threaded to be plugged later
Strut adjusted to the required height
Control arm GX61
Reinforced stabilizer link bolt diameter 10 (stock is 8)
Polyurethane 0-02-016 for 10mm diameter with a 14mm flange welded on for tight fit to the control arm, also 14mm washers were welded

Brake assemblies, plans are to reinforce them; that's why GX81 hubs were chosen.


Final result: spring stiffness 8kg, 36 adjustability settings for dampers.
