What’s up tech guys?

I have a 1991 240sx.

Some guy is selling me some JDM Kei Office TD-II Coilovers with around 9300 Miles off his S14 for about $300 buckaroos, one of the shocks is leaking tho. i haven't seen them.

I want to use them for drifting

I really never have seen how s14 are set up.

So my Question is : if theirs any fitment problems? something big enough that shouldn’t be worth buying.Or do I have to custom make something? Or buy other parts from an s14 to make them fit my S13? Or is it a straight bolt on?

And are these coilovers real good for the track?

Your help would greatly be appreciated.

Messed up, excuse my newbieness

But you’re sure they wont?

Would they even be worth buying for that price, and maybe turning around and selling them for more?

s14 front knuckles use larger bolts so the bolt holes on the front coilovers will be larger.

not exactly sure but the rear might bolt up with out any snags

s14 rears are much longer than s13's. If you're trying to put s14 fronts on the s13, you'll either 1. need to get s13 lower brackets for that coilover or 2. drill out the knuckles.

So get lower brackets for the rear, and drill out the knuckles for the front ?

where could i get lower brackets at? how much do they run for?

Look , dude.

DONT DO IT.

Simple, if you want to buy them and resell them thats your decision.

lol

rears - ain't gonna happenfront - you need to drill out the knuckle OR get new brackets for the lower. either case, you'll start mixing and matching which is pretty lame and will add up in cost which then makes the whole deal pretty weak.
