    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.
