i dont know if this has been asked before, i looked for it but didnt find it. this may also be a stupid question but will the stock springs from the usdm S13 work on a usdm S14? the idiot who owned the car before me heated the stock springs and ruined them, i cant afford to upgrade my suspension so i was just gonna go to a junkyard and get some springs to improve the ride of the car for now. sorry if this is a dumb question, im new at this. thanks for your help.

Fronts will work but they're suited for a different chassis, so the ride will suffer. Rears are different.

so the fronts will work but the rear wont at all? nobody around here has S14 parts but i can get S13 parts easily. thanks for your help

Dude.... there are thousands of members on this forum and I'm guessing a whole bunch of them have stocker springs sitting in the garage. You might want to ask around before half-assing it, or paying too much at a boneyard.

I believe the rears are shorter. Fronts are identical but a different spring rate maybe.

JDMwannaBE · 03-22-2007, 06:48 PM

does anyone know how much shorter they may be?

orion::S14 · 03-23-2007, 07:52 AM

3-4 inches, at least.

WAAAAAAAAAYYYYyyyyyy too short...they DO NOT work. They CANNOT be made to work.
