So I was just looking around on google and zilvia and noticed some s13s with what looked like s14 "wrap around" rucas. do s14 rucas actually fit the s13 without modification? the wrap arounds look easier to install than the s13 "ring" ones

by the s14's "wrap around," you mean this right?



If I recall correctly, the s14 and s13 rucas ARE interchangeable on the S13. The reason why s14's can't use the full 2 arm coverage is because it gets in the way of the s14's dampers.

and honestly, if that's your reason for choosing s14 rucas, its dumb. It's not easier, I mean when installing, you still have to remove the oem rucas that surround the dampers and the bottom mount of the dampers that attach to the knuckle. Its gonna be the same effort whether you go with s14 rucas or s13 ones.
