Lots of people have wee little man .

I use the attains, fit great, you know you have a new part, win win.

If I could do it all over again... I "might" have gone w/ peak performance since they include longer studs for not that much more.... "might".

Unless you are planing on changing out your rods/arms/spindles or anything, this is really the only solution for the front.

The rears... you should already know from searching.

Just do searches on lug conversions here & other forums.

^^good advice.

Also, my new in the box attains had bad bearings. Luckily I had replacement oem s13 bearings on hand and pressed out the new bad bearings from the new 5lug hub and poped in the 2nd set of new bearings and away we went!

Using the S14 Spindles makes it easy to run the S14 FLCA.

But then you need to bore out the strut bolt holes... I saw one that the guy thought he could do himself. Some people may be able to drill holes right, some cannot. Use your best judgement.

All about deciding what is available vs. how much time / money / hassle is involved.

I had a machine shop do my KTS for 20$, he said it screwed up his drill bit or sometihng.

The only problem with S14 spindles is that they're taller than S13 spindles so going ultra mega low could be a challenge.

The part where the hole is enlarged is pot metal. Beware of a machinist who can't easily finish the job.

It's just as easy to do 5lug conversion hubs. It's just as easy to drill 5lug rotors back to 4lug. So many choices...
