You need the ball joint and knuckles. Don't forget the calipers/rotors for all four.

What do you want to do.

5 lug on S13, you can use ichiba hubs. They are like $260 or something, then just get 5 lug rotors for like $45. And your set.

If you want to use S14 5 lug, you need knuckles/spindles L+R, S14 ball joint x2, S14 5 lug hubs, and 5 lug rotors. You also will have to drill your strut/shock holes for larger S14 bolts.

You can use S14 FLCA (front lower control arm) it will widen your wheel base, you will have to extend your tie-rod ends, by un-screewing them.

Hope this helps
