View Full Version : S13 Dampers on an S14?

After six weeks of waiting for school, work, weather, the planets, etc. to align, I'll finally be putting the AGXs and ProKits on my S13 this weekend. The guy helping me has a 95 S14 with two blown struts. (Watching him autocross is damn near hilarious! )

Anyway, I know the part #s for the S13 pieces are different than those for the S14 bits, but will they fit? If they have different part #s because of different valving or something like that, I'm gonna let him have my old dampers(way to avoid the strut vs. shock argument). I've been unable to find any info on this; surprise, surprise! Does anyone know of any attempts to make this swap, and how it went, or even of any reason why it wouldn't work? I'd kinda like to know a little bit before we go ripping stuff off his car only to have to put it back.

Any thoughts?

all i know is the rear on s14 is much longer then the s13 shocks. cant help much else. i know the shock bolt holes for the fronts (to the brake arm thing) is larger then s13 too.

not sure about length on fronts

Fronts are same length, but with 14mm bolt instead of 12mm. Will work if you have S14 5-lug swap, but I don't think you can bore and tap the stock S13 knuckles.

Rear will not work. S14 is way longer.
