I was just wondering what the differences were. I am upgrading to S14 front (5-lug) spindles and wondered if I could use S14 coilovers.

Vitamin, I honestly am unsure of the exact differences, but I do know that they are different part numbers. Check with Heavy Throttle, or whoever you plan on buying your suspension items from. They will know better than I. By the way, make sure your'e sitting down when you ask how much coil overs cost. Pretty crazy prices. It's your choice, but KYB shocks with Eibach springs work very well. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I am aware of the hefty price of the coilovers. I called Jeff and he thought they would bolt up, but did not know if the geometry would be right. I know with the S14SE spindles, you have to drill out the S13 shock bodies. I just though that if I can just get S14's and it work with no modifications then all the better.

Also S14 coilovers are a little easier to find used (read cheaper).
