Well one of the guys I met on here tried to put s14 t/c rods on his s13 -> doesn't work.

Will go on, but will f up your caster like no other. I believe the s14's were waaaayyy too long.

So, from a technical standpoint, you can swap them; but from a drivability/useability standpoint, you wouldn't want to.

Won't work. The S14 rod is too long. Caster will be messed up. Also, the bolts won't line up with the holes in theS13 arms. I had to take one of the bolts out of the S14 rod to make it "fit" the S13 lower control arm. Can you make it fit? Yes. Will it work well and be safe? Not at all.

Well is it a stock or Adjustable?

I've heard of people using Adjustable S13 Tension Rods to get more Caster on S14s.

Stock would prolly fit with some fanagalining but you would have like 12 degrees of camber or whatever.

the ones that I took off the s13 are adjustable units i think that they are tien brand and are threaded at both ends

I dont see why they wouldnt work then... Id check to see how long you can make it while still having sufficent tread though and then put it on the car like that and adjust from there.

you'll prolly have to run like 7+ Degrees of caster, But most drift flunkys say they like big caster since it feels better exiting corners.
