s13 S14 FLCA's on S13

Just picked up some S14 FLCA's for S13. How much more negative camber do you think I'll get?

quick search on google

"It will increase track by 10mm on each side, which means that if you run the same amount of camber before and after installing the s14 FLCAs then you will have the same wheel fitment as a car with a 10mm lower offset and stock FLCAS. As far as actual wheel clearance is concerned, it will not be affected.

So it does not directly change the offset, but it will make the wheels fit the body of the car as if they were a lower offset."

This is not accurate. Since you're only moving the lower point, and not the upper point (top hat) you are in fact increasing camber AND track width.

Functionally, yeah you're probably safe just ballparking 8-10mm less clearance on your fitment, but technically it's not the same as just switching to a wheel with 10mm lower offset.

Splitting hairs.

What a stupid thread haha

BRNDCK is right

Also, I think it's funny when people say "more camber"

More negative camber would be more accurate

Will you need to change anything to run these other than the ball joints? Inner or outer tie rods maybe ?

to run s14 lca on s13, you only need to change the ball joint to match whatever knuckle you use (if you have s13 knucks, use s13 BJ, if you have s14 knucks, use s14 BJ).

you should definitely check your toe setting afterwards, since it will have changed

You'll have so much camber it will be sick. Leave the toe setting and OE ball joints. Car will be MINTY.
