Default Question on tie rod ends. S13/S14

While picking up a new water pump, I think I'll pick up some tie rod ends (outer) since the boots on mine are shot. My question is, Ive read on a different forum that you can use S14 tie rod ends on a S13. Is this true? (Just want to double check. ) Looking at the pics that were posted, the S14's look larger/stronger. Just wanted to see if any of you switched to the S14 tie rod ends. There is VERY little in price difference if any between the 2 and if the s14 will fit, I'll use them...
Thanks...

Yes. You can also use Z32 inners as well for even more beef, I think. Check out the S13 suspension section at SPL Parts.

You cannot CANNOT use S14 outer tierod ends to an S13.

You have to convert to S14 Inner tierod ends or Z32 inner tierod ends first.

the S13 inners / outers are a different thread diameter.. Only M12 vs M14 if i remember off the top of my head

i got the teins on my car, make sure you buy both the inner and outers cause one won't work with the stock counterpart, so both have to be replaced. think i paid like $150 for the set or something.

*edit* for all 4 peices

Will Z32 inner and outer tie rods and ends fit on the S14? I just received my order for a set today in the mail.

for the price you might as well, its alot like when your fuel pump dies, you can spend 140 on a stock one, or 100 on a walboro.... its not quite that nice with the tie rods, but you get the point.

Could someone let me know if I can use this setup on a S14 (refer to previous reply). Thanks.
