Okay I've did the whole search thing but still can't seem to find info on b13 to b14 rear suspension. I know one is rear beam & the other is IRS. All I want to know is if I was to pick up ground control coilovers for b13 will it work with kyb agx shock/struts for a b14 200sx & I have a 98 se model if that helps.

If one is rear beam and one is IRS, I'd highly doubt they'd be interchangeable.

Yea I knew that but I want to know like is there a major difference in the coilover design. I know I have to buy kyb shocks specifically for the b14 since it has a rear beam Set-up. But will these coilovers work on the shocks is what I want to truly know. & not trying to sound like a ***hole, but ive looked at them & they are brand new for $50 locally so $399 compared to $50 is some serious savings

Spring rates for most decent coilover sets are different btwn B13 & B14 chassis. Weight differences (although marginal) can make a difference in ride and performance.

To be short, if you want to do it right, use the right parts. You never know how much headache you could avoid, just by saving up for a couple more months.
