Just weld new plates for the lower bracket, what's so difficult about that?

I will prove EVERYONE, that S13 front coilovers WILL fit on S14. Just watch.
My car will decimate all 240s on TR in suspension work.
if youre "going to make it work" then why the fuck did you ask?

dude...u fucking idiot...
why do companies spend all this money on R&D and develop different suspension kits for s13 and s14..

they always say "S13 ONLY!" or "S14 ONLY!"
i told you to just get s14 and call it a day...u stubborn ass

why dont you try getting civic coilover...the bolts might fit..if that's all you are concerned about..heheh

they make different coilovers for s13 and s14 for a reason...it's not "will fit s13 and s14"

It's no secret that S13 coilovers will bolt on to an S14 by only drilling out the front lower holes 1/16". Every bolt lines us except the ones that you have to drill out. It has been done before. What EVERYONE is trying to tell you is that the rear assemblies are too short by about 3-4". This makes the maximum height you can achieve in the rear somewhere around dumped. In fact, when the very first ever sets of Megan S14 coilovers were shipped out, they mistakenly packaged S13 rears and sent them out. Dozens of people were pissed because NO ONE could run like that. Your only saving grace will be if your rears have a retarded amount of adjustment. YMMV.

I LOVE YOU.
If its no secret, then why the hell would people say no it wont work? I suppose thats because factories told them that it wont fit. That is true because the lower bracket holes are too small.
So what, drill the little fuckers. Break it's hymen to take the bigger bolt. With very little modification, the fronts WILL fit, with the rear, its too much trouble so forget it.
S13 front coilovers are easier to find, so why not use them?

The rears are too short, as i said it over and over. im not going to attempt to make it work.

Ill put on some coilovers this afternoon before TR meet at quaker to see if it works out.

Thanks Epstein

i never said it wont work.
i said its too short.
the fronts are way shorter on s13 also.
youd be giving up a retarded amount of adjustment just to do something that is gay.

a friend of mine has strut/springs from an s13 on his s14, and its way lower than normal. sure thats cool i guess, but the dampening doesnt match, and with non dual adjustable (ride height and preload being the same) coilovers, it is going to work like shit.

so go ahead prove everyone wrong. nobody gives a fuck anyway.

Pix. Front S13 coilover into S14.
All the bolts lines up correctly. The lower bracket only needs to be drilled slightly bigger to take the S14 bolt.
