my friend has a 5 lug s14 and I have a 4 lug s13 can we just swap our suspension so I can have his 5 lug and him with 4 lugs??? thanks

SilviaDriver · 03-07-2005, 06:35 PM

simple answer.

you will have 5 lug, and he will have shit

DriftingXJDM · 03-07-2005, 06:38 PM

So it will bolt right up... thats all I want to know thanks

SilviaDriver · 03-07-2005, 06:41 PM

no. it will bolt up for you because your using more s14. knuckles spindles ball joints etc etc

whatever is listed above is not swappable to s14 i dont believe.

search

I've been doing a small amount of research, and I'd like to know myself.

Edit..after more reading/searching(key word)

You can use the s14 knuckle with these http://www.5lugsleeves.com/. Thank you for a cheaper alternative. If you'd like to run more camber, or chaper/easier alternative than attain you can even use teh S14 LCA.

Or you can use the S13 LCA with S14 balljoint with S14 knuckle.

Someone posted the dimmensions for those sleeves before, so you can make them yourself, if you have the tools. but for under 30 shipped, is it really worth it

the head · 03-08-2005, 12:22 PM

no

the other route is for the price of a drill bit you can take the 12 mm holes out to 14 and then you can use the larger bolts

projectRDM · 03-08-2005, 07:20 PM

If you swap your hub, spindle, LCA, and strut altogether it will bolt right u. but you'll have 10mm less length on the LCA. In the rear of course you just swap hubs.

Ritz S14 · 03-08-2005, 07:46 PM

I thought the s14 LCA was 10mm longer?

thats all fine, but I'd rather use the sleeve than to mess with a coilovers that I paid serious $$ for.
If its just a shock/spring than go for it.

Ya, I didn't read which car was his, just that one of them (S14) would be out 10mm.
