When using s14 spindles on s13, do you have to use s14 suspension mounting brackets? I know the holes are bigger, but are the mounting brackets wider? Thank you. Oh this is for the front of course.

I know that you have to use S14 LCA.

yea or a s14 ball joint. I just need to know if the suspension mounting bracket is the same width.

What brackets? Use the S14 spindle and ball joint. Done. We've covered this for over thirteen years.

Negative.^^^ You don't HAVE to use S14 LCA, but it makes it easier. Everything is just a bolt on affair except for the coilover mount. You can either be ghetto and drill the hole out like I did or get the sleeves that Enjuku sells.

I remember reading something about using the S13 LCA, but you have to have a S14 ball joint pressed in? Correct me if I'm wrong...

EDIT: RDM answered the questions.
