I'm stripping down a wrecked 95 se and using the parts off of it to do my 5 lug conversion. the rear was a piece of cake, the front is a little different I'm swapping the spindle and all but I noticed the bolts that bolt the top of the spindle to the strut are larger on the s14 spindle than the ones on the s13 spindle the bolts wont even go through the strut. will the struts interchange or what do I need to do??

You need to buy bolt sleeves for the spindles and then use the s13 strut/spindle bolts so there is no free play. The s14 uses wider bolts.

just for giggles I popped the strut off the s14 and put it on my s13 works perfectly. Thanks for your response.
