S13 coilovers on an 86??

No. In fact not so many AE86 use different front suspension (they prefer to modify stock one).
No one needs more suspension travel (esp. in lowered car), big brakes are not problem (with RX7 calipers conversion, indeed Nissan to Nissan conversion is more simple), steering angle - too. AE86 hubs are not fragile in any way (I heard for cracked hub once).

Quote:also this causes large amounts of bump steer under breaking no matter how large your rcas are..... now if you run an s13 setup u can run say postive 40 offset wheels which brings the tyre directly under the ball joint, meaning the weight of the car goes onto the entire tyre

This CAN be improvement - must check S13 front suspension geometry.
