As far as I know, the only difference between S13 and S14 front shocks is the lower bolt sizes. The S14's are bigger. You'll need to drill out your mounting holes by 1/16" to accomodate the bigger bolts. And please, for the safety of everyone, don't just slap washers or something on the S13 bolts and run them anyways. Drill it out and get the bigger bolts.
