What's any of that have to do with whether the spring will fit on the s14 shock or not? lol!Originally Posted by Master Shake
after a little bit of research, i located this article.
this quote can be found
HERE!
under 5-lug conversion.
hope it helps.
did you read the article?
it just clearly stated why the springs WOULD FIT, but would CAUSE PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING. you would have to completely convert the entire suspension (s14 to s13) to get it to work like it is suppose to. check the edit on the previous post.
My advice is call Skunk2 and ask for the dimensions of both the S13 and S14 part numbers. That will tell you instantly if they are compatible. Ask for the inside diameter and the overall height and see how they compare. Simple as that.
I have now read the article twice and that is the second time I've wasted my time. No where in the original post has anyone asked about a 5-lug conversion or putting s14 spindles on an S13.
It clearly states in his post, "i just bought some SKUNK2 lowering springs item number 519-07-1900 and i was wondering if they will fit an S14". SPRINGS: not spindles, not ball joints, not control arms, not hubs, not brakes, not seats, not headlights or bumpers or wings...just springs.
the ball joints and spindles are needed to put the springs onto the s14. meaning he would need to swap over the s13 LCA's and all that to use the springs he has.
do you get what i'm saying?
So you're saying that they don't both have macpherson struts on all 4 corners so there is no way to try to put an s13 spring on a s14 shock?
you can, and everything bolt up like its suppose to, but there is a high chance of suspension failure.
What is going to fail? Nothing would be changed. He's only asking about springs...the physical coils on top of the shocks which have NOTHING to do with the ball joints or swapping components like control arms or spindles or hubs.
