the s14 rear subframe alters the “squat” of the rear suspension when installed on s13…i came across that info on [nissanroadracing.com](http://nissanroadracing.com) forums…the forward mounting point for the RLCA on the s14 frame is lower than s13… search up “s13 squat /antisquat” for more info as for the master poly bushing kit, energy suspension is a reputable brand for that type of part… rs-r japan also has similar parts but proly $$$ do you plan to install these yourself? because you will need a hydraulic press to remove & replace…labour to do a master kit would also be expensive unless you were to bring all the disassembled ams and new bushings to some shop ---
