i have a lil simple q if someone could just answer it real quick thanks!

s13 and s14 front coilovers are the same right? only the rears are different s14's are longer and s13 shorter.

Bolt holes on the S13 are smaller (mounting points for the spindles are 12mm instead of 14mm I believe). Otherwise, I am not certain.

i believe the front shocks and spring from a s14 is at a higher height than a stock s13.They always direct bolt on for my car from a s14 to s13.... the rear its way too long.

I got a question, read completely

Ive been mainly working with S13 for a long time but just recently I picked up an S14 so i dont kow everything about them yet.

Now you know our Stock Suspension is like 4X4, and I know S14 rear shocks are reallyyy long but....

I have some old ass S13 Cusco's (front are fine, rears are blown)

Just for shits and giggles I was wondering how much STOCK S13 Rear shock would lower the S14, but not retared low and i can even the front out with the Cusco's up front.

Yes i know the rear upper shock perch is smaller on the S13 ,and the front bolts on the uprights on the S14 are bigger and require spacers/shock bolt hole drilled out, different spring rates..yadda yadda yadda

I dont normally do this crap, just curious on how low it would make it just for shits and giggles.

Once i finish dropping in the RB im gonna install Stances new LX+Plus C/O, so if i did do it, it wouldnt be a permenant thing, I just hate being 4X4

I searched a good bit and all i hear is "the shocks are way longer" I know this... I would like to see some pics though lol

S14 rear struts are like 40% longer than an S13.

my friend tried it and it was still low like almost tucking 17's so it might be fine just go ahead and try it

Install them s13 shocks/springs on there and put up some pics! That way you will know how they work/look and you can answer everyone's question about how it fits! Seems like you will not get any real answers untill you get them in there yourself. Anyways, they are not too hard to install and remove! I too would like to know.....
