-So i have a question this might sound stupid but what is the difference between s13 and s14 coilovers?
-Are they are the same shock(in size and stuff)? Are the shock tower holes spaced different(were the pillow mount studs enter)? and if they are the same, could you just buy different pillow mounts?

Thanks for you help I've come here for a lot of suspension stuff a big help but i was just wondering about this for the longest time.
-And i guess what is the difference between s14, s15, and skyline suspensions.

This seems like a lot to tackle but it would be a big help thanks a lot

if you search youd know

you just need little spacer things cause the bolt holes are biger on 14

iirc, s14 rears are longer than s13s. also the front fits

We have a search function. It works if you actually use it.

S13, S14, S15 front struts are all interchangeable. The S13 lower strut to spindle holes are smaller though (12mm vs. 14mm) so you'll either need to drill them out or add sleeves if using on an S14/S15.

S14/S15 rear shocks are about 6" longer. They can be replaced with R33/R34 shocks, or if using a Z32 upright you can use BNR33, ECR33, or BNR34 shocks.

S13 shocks can be swapped with Z32, R32, or BNR32 shocks if using Z32 uprights.

The S13 rear shock upper perch is slightly smaller in diameter than S14/S15 so you can either drill new holes or swap the perch over.
