so i searched and either i suck at search, or i cant get the correct wording down.

so sorry i figure a question like this has been asked already, but i cant find the answers i need.

so my friend totaled his s14 which is 5 lug and i read that you can direct swap the rears, and you need the S14 SE front hubs + S14 spindle + S14 ball joint w/LCA (and redrilling of strut for larger strut bolt).

my question is, can i take the tension rods and control arms and have them all still fit and be in proper alignment still? i know the s14 tension rods and the control arms are longer then the s13. so if i were to swap everything over... would it work?thanks in advance, sorry if i failed at searching.

Here is what you want off the S14: Front spindles and bearing hubs.All 4 strut bolts.Either the rear bearing hub or the complete spindle. I can not for the life of me remember how similar the 2 are. If they are similar, install as is, if different remove 4 19?mm bolts securing bearing hub and install on S13 spindle.Brake rotors and calipers (measure S14 rotor and compare to S13, if bigger grab calipers)Go to parts store and buy brand new S14 ball joints and install into S13 front lower control arms.

The S14 front lower control arms are longer and will jack up suspension geometry.
