Tein Flex question

[the.rise]

I sent tein an email this afternoon but realized its night time over there and they wont be back in shop until monday, so i've come to the forums to try to get an answer.

This question has been asked before but I cannot find a concrete answer.

I have a 93 s13 with z32 brakes/hubs/diff in the rear. Currently I'm running Cusco type-s's with stock s13 knuckles (eye mount). I have z32 aluminum uprights/knuckles waiting in the garage. I plan to install the knuckles when I buy new coilovers, which brings me to this question: If i buy used tein flex's with standard "eye mounts" can i change the mount (with a bracket or simply replacing) to the required fork mounts on the z32 knuckles?

i know tein builds s13 coilovers with fork mounts. I also know theres quite a few companies making brackets to use z32 uprights with their standard eye mount coils.


all this hassle stems from the fact that I can buy used tein flex's for 800 dollars with a spare set of springs (with standard eye mounts), but would be forced to pay 1700+$ to have the same setup new (with fork mounts). If i can spend 200$ on brackets or retro fitting I'd still save 700 in the long run, and lets face it 700$ could buy me quite a few things I'd like to add to the build.


oh, and the reason i want to install z32 knuckles is so i'll have a usable e-brake since the s13 ones currently dont work with my z32 brakes

You can use the z32 e-brake assy on your s13 hubs. Just unbolt. The hubs, slip the parking brakein place, put the hubs back on and bolt all back together.

My bad, im wrong. Its like that for the s14. I forgot about that pin for the ebrake hardware ...I run hydro...my bad.

You can use s14 hubs or 300zx hubs on your stock knuckles to use the ebrake ....5lug...baller! Lol.
