Dont buy cheap ass parts from ebay for starters.....

I would probably contact Ebay and see what they could do for you. If paid using paypal you can also make a dispute...

If the fronts are like the ones in the pictures, how the bearing kind of sits into the hub on the back, then they're S13. S14 bearings sit flush with the back of the hub.

Ahh... so they just set you an order for an S14 by accident? That not too bad. If they don't respond, dispute the order though paypal. Get your money back, sell the parts and buy the correct hubs from somebody else.

Seeing ppl automatically saying the problem is that you got them off ebay is so tiring.

Ichibas are no better than these eBay ones. It's pretty much hit or miss for both. As far as Ichibas they're pretty much just like the eBay ones since some of them comes with defective o rings and shitty ass bearings and some are perfect out of the box. If u want to be sure just get used oem ones

Same here, I'm running these on my car and so far I'm MUCH happier than I was with Ichiba.

Ichiba is complete shit.

leave negative feedback, then the seller will be on your dick to get everything settled. although, i will say, if it's only been something like, 1 day since you sent the message, you have to chillax a bit. if it's been a week, negative feedback away.
