s13 suspension swap ?Not Direct swap?

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

Im swapping my struts and sprigns from a 93 hatch to an 89 coupe, my coilovers on the coupe fit the hatch but i cannot get the strut mount holes to line up with the knuckle... Are they not supposed to be direct swaps?

[glitched]

have you done a 5 lug swap?

I know the s14 and s13 knuckles have different hole sizes. I've had to drill out the holes on the coilover when using s13 coils on my s13 with s14 knuckles from a 5 lug swap.

then when i swapped them back to a normal s13, the holes were to big and had to get now mounts.

hes not doing an s14 to s13 swap hes doing a s13 hatch to coupe swapI've heard that the rear struts are different on coupes and hatches, i've never done suspension work but its just what I've heard so it may be worth looking into

hes not doing an s14 to s13 swap hes doing a s13 hatch to coupe swap

thats why the first thing i asked is if he has a 5 lug swap he's not telling us about.

thats impossible they dont sell s13 hatch or coupe suspension... im doing that swap 2morro so if my coils dont work ill let you guys know. As for my original post i got the problem solved i just needed to flex the knuckle down more (like sum1 had to stand on it) and no theres no 5lug. YES it is a direct swap.

They should be a direct swap. Are they knuckles just not moving far enough down to get them to line up?

[Klits562]

YES it is a direct swap.

good to know my friend might be swapping out his suspension from his hatch and if he does hes gonna hook me up with it for cheap for my coupe and i really like how his car handles DDDDD
