My 5-Lug conversion list for S13

[mr_wizard]

Ok, just to get things straight I read through 5 or 6 threads and came up with this list of needed parts, and a couple possible one's?

S14 SE front hubs with spindles, spindle bolts, and ball jointsS14 SE (or z32 non turbo) rear hubs with ball joints, spindles, and spindle boltsS14 SE (or z32 non turbo) 5 lug rotors front and back

Controller arms? Why do some 5 lug conversion threads say you need them and some don't?

What's LCA? Why would I need it? How does it work? Again, why do some 5 lug conversion threads say you need it and some don't?

Is there a step by step guide on how to do this? Possibly with pictures? I've seen people having problems with the ball joints, I know I'm going to run into the same problem.

Reason I'm doing this is I found a great set of 5 lug rims for my S13 at an awesome price, so in the long run I think this may be cheaper. I'm hoping not to spend over 200 on parts at the junkyard. What do you guys think?

you'll need the S14 front lower control arm because the S13 LCA ball joint doesn't work in the S14 spindle.

200 for a full 5 lug conversion would be a pretty big come up. as they usually go 4-500 in the for sale forum. if you get that price and find extra cars there talk to me lol. i'll take as many sets of se hubs n/a z rear hubs you can toss me and i'll give you a finders fee/commission.
