Hi, Long time ago, i started on a project car which was a S13. I bought powertrix coilovers, front and rear sway bars, and adjustable rear uppper arm and engine and transmission mount. i am about to buy a S14 from a frd and i now i want to install everything on the S14. The coilovers does not have upper mounts so i bought some Tein uppermounts and i know those will work for both S13 and S14. The bottom part of the coilovers are adjustable, so u can change the total length of the coilovers, i am hoping to be able to change it to the same length as the S14's coilovers. Will any of these parts fit? Thx.
P.s. i dont have the S14 yet so i thats y i am not able to just take the parts and try to install them to see if they work or not.

Re: Which suspension parts are interchangeable w/ S14 and S13? (bentong2k2)
yea i'm wondering this also... I have GAB suspension for an S13 and I might end up buying an S14... I loove my suspension and dont wanna buy new stuff so... I wonder if it will fit.. mine are also adjustable gas shocks/coilovers whateva.. the rear height can not be adjusted tho.
iirc the rear struts on the s14 are longer. the fronts shouldn't be much of an issue though. You will need to drill the holes on the lower bracket on the fronts a bit bigger though.
engine and transmission mount will go fine. The ruca, the s13 one would bolt up but it's not really designed for the s14. but that'd be the extent of the parts exchange. Everything else you'd be selling off.

Re: (180fan)
dont want to bring this up...but..
exactly how long are the rear S14 struts? i might be getting a free pair of coilovers from a friend, but i have a RPS13. and the strut bracket holes need to be filed in the front?

The rears, you'd see a difference of an inch or two iirc. The upper mounts are different as well. The holes are set differently. You'd need to drill them to make em fit right and I'd be a bit reluctant to do so.
The front, you'll need to drill out the knuckle section of the lower suspension to fit s14 lower brackets. Remember, if you're gonna do this, it's at your own risk and remember to use the s14 bolts instead of the s13's for the lower bracket.
