Don't quote me on this, but I believe you can. I'd be concerned about the lengths though.

oh and not to be a d!ck or anything, but I think you mean "brakes" not "breaks" lol

Yes you can use the rear 300zx struts.

Or you can just unbolt the 5 lug spindle from the 300zx aluminum hub and use your s13 steel hub so there's no issue with swapping parts or fitment.

IIRC the s13 and z32 shocks are the same length, or so close that you can use them with out any issues.

thanks guys this is why i like nissan people better i had a 98 civic hatch too but sold it i posted up on a honda forum and they tryed to clown me because i said rsx type r instead of integra trying to tell me how jdm they are stupid s*** but thanks again for the info and no offense taken i did mean brakes i dont pay attention when i type alot i didnt even catch on to that until u said that. the only reason i want to use the uprights is because they came with the brakes when i bought them and im gonna need new suspension anyway so if i can use them why not
