I know if i get a s14 knuckle that i would have to drill my shocks holes out to match them with the s14 knuckles.But is it possible to still use s13 bolts instead of using s14 and drilling the shocks out? i hear that s14 are a bit larger, but is it possible to still use s13?

and dont bother to tell me to use gto/attain hubs because i have found the front hub/spindles already...

There is a way to acheive the results you are looking for. Call a general machine shop in your area and tell them that you need iron sleeves made. They need to be 30mm long, have an I.D. of 11.91mm or .4685, and have an O.D. of 13.85mm or .5445
You will need 4 of them and you can hammer them into your S14 spindles. This will decrease the size of the hole to accomodate the smaller diameter S13 bolts.

so to recap, you need to either drill your shock/strut/coilover bolt location to a larger size or get iron sleeves to use existing s13 components to complete 5 lug swap...
interesting...

I had them made out of aluminum, they have worked great for over a year and only cost 60 bucks to have made.
