Suspension question

[One of those guys]

So I purchased a set of tein drift spec winding master type he coilovers for my s13 from a guy that had s14 knuckles so the holes on the bracket that bolts to the knuckle have been drilled, problem is I am using my s13 knuckles so would it be better to weld plates in the holes for the bolts and re-drill to use s13 bolts, or should I attempt to drill the holes in my knuckles a bit larger and go but some bigger grade 8 bolts?

Problem #2, also on one of the rear coilovers he did not have the spring seat that holds the spring and protects the threads from the spring damaging them and I can not properly pre load the coilover with the damaged threads so any ideas on that repair would also help!

I know it sounds like too much to deal with but I got the coilovers for an awesome deal and I'm pumped to get them on but I just want to be sure that everything is functioning properly before slapping them on and sliding away! Thanks for reading

Do you have a problem man? I asked for some help reguarding an issue I am having..the thread damage is thread damage...It's not that big of a concern hince the reason I listed it as problem #2 I will most likely take it to a machine shop for repair. Now if you have a suggesting as to which route i should take as far as the knuckles go I would Appriciate the advice.

I don't think it was meant Like that didn't seem that way more of a joke in my opinion but anyways post pics of the extent if damage so we can tell you if it's even worth it or just purchasing replacement if threads are bad rethread it with one of those kits not sure what there called but had it done to a motor mount bolt with the kit I'm cheap I guess but calm down bro take some Ativan and slow your roll its ganna be ok we can get through this together lol btw that is a joke so don't rage bro it ain't that deep

The answer to #1 is simple. 5-lug swap.

and #2 you are on the right track. if you dont have the experience yourself take it to someone who does. A picture would help so we can see what were lookin at here but i dont see that costing very much.

you bought someones problem man..its gona cost you as much to fix them as you would have spent for a new set..some times a deal IS to good to be true.

No, what you asked for was good news, and reassurance that you didn't get f***ed over. I'm afraid there's none of that coming your way. You did. Its going to cost you more to get your issues fixed than it would have to buy a decent set of coils in the first place. My advice, try to get your money back.

This is not s*** talking. Ask me about getting f***ed over. 3 months ago I bought a 95 Maxima (for a good price) that ran fine on the test drive and only revealed its blown headgasket after I had signed the title and was miles down the road. Doubled the cost of the car. s*** happens, people screw you, at least your lesson was cheaper than mine.
