the bolt holes on the bracket at the front will be too wide. you would need to make a sleeve for the bolts to go through.

not sure about the rear, the only difference is height. S14 suspension is taller

on the D2’s the dampers are the same length so i assume you can swap them. the mouting points are the same i believe.

thanks for the info, by the holes on the mountin plate, do you mean the holes that are for the bolts where the mount bolts to the wheel hub ? the mount that huggs the strut at the bottom ?

I run S14 fronts on my S13.

All you need to to is pull the suspension out and up (full negative camber) before you tighen the bolt. Gravity will keep it in place. If you’re running stupid wide wheels you may need the sleeves like bing suggested.

As far as I know, the S14 rears do not fit.

rears cannot be made to work at all…s14 shocks are like 10 inches longer…fronts bolt right up, just gotta use the bolts from the s13.
