I am swapping my s13 from 4 bolt to 5 bolt. I had giving up on finding a set of s14 spindles in my area (calgary) and was planning on buying a set of conversion hubs for the front only. I am using z32 rear spindle/hub/park brake for the rear.

So I found a set of spindles with s14 LCAs for the front at a good price in good shape. about a 100 dollars cheaper than a set of conversion hubs. I imagine this money will go towards a new set bearing from the hubs

So do i go with the s14 front spindles and 5 bolt hub or go with an s13 5 bolt conversion hub. I assume someone with bring up drilling out the front strut bolt holes to match the s14 spindles but I wouldn't do. Just use an internally threaded insert in the spindle with the correct diameter bolt for the s13 strut bolt holes. My car doesn't have abs.

Thanks for your time and 2 cents.
