I KNOW it's been discussed but I can't find it when irun a search. Will s15 coilovers fit properly in an s14? Aren't the shock tubes smaller or something like that? What are the effects of this if so? Thanks

as far as i know yes they fit.

but why go through the hassle and not just get S14 coilovers?

i believe they are swappable. for some reason i remember reading it on FA a long ass time ago.

it says valving is different. for some reason i seem to recall reading the s15 brake hose bracket is a little different too.

my friend has them on his S14.
He mentioned he can't lower the rear as much since they were meant for S15's.

Just curious, why would you want to use S15 coilovers? (not being an ass, I really just dont know)

I am running S14 coilovers on my S15 at the moment. I see no reason it would not work vice-versa...
