Will coilovers out of an S13 silvia fit into an S14? Are there any differences between the two?

I always see great deals on S13 coilovers on ebay, so I've been wondering the same thing.

They ALWAYS differentiate them though, so I figure there must be some difference, otherwise they wouldn't bother.

Some companies claim that they offer coilovers that adapt between the two, but i bet they dont fit very well.

I will just go out on a limb and say NO for the time being. I may be proved wrong, but i doubt it...

ive never heard of a company that provides an adapter but...

Im going with 2BN because as far as I know w/o any heavy modifications they will not fit.

Besides S13 weight distribution is a bit different than S14 so I wouldnt really use coilovers that were designed for S13 weight distribution on my S14.

Turns out they dont, the S13's rear coilovers were about 100mm shorter than my standard S14 shocks, the hole centers were differnt to, so i couldnt bolt it up at the on the top plate.
