Thnk of it this way. If it worked for s14 and s15, wouldn't the coilover say "s14/s15 coilover", or "1995-2002 Silvia coilover"? s15 subframe = s13, so if you asked about that, I'd say I don't know. Since the subframe isn't comprable to a s14, this is a resounding no.

actually Jeff Im pretty sure it will work. ALOT of the suspension for the s14 and S15 are interchangale... Im not 100% certain though but I do recall R240NA saying most of that stuff is interchangable between the 14 and 15

You sure steeles? I've never heard any confirmation on any s-chassis stuff swapping. Sure hope Russ pops in and proves me wrong.

And my name is called.

S14/S15 stuff swaps fine. Shocks, springs, swaybars, all the rods/arms, and the subframe. Even the exhaust will work.

The difference is most companies changed the spring rate/dampening for the S15, so they list a different part number. The Nismo coilovers for example are 1k less front and rear for the S15 (8/6 vs. 9/7 IIRC).

If you follow YahooJP a lot you'll see stuff listed for both, it's not common here since the S15 was never sold here.

It will work for sure. I've got a set of Cusco S15 coil-overs on my 98 S14. Works great!!

I have a 95 S-14 and my Sub-frame cracked in half and now I have a S-15 sub frame on my S-14 with S-15 JIC adjustables and S-14 control, tow, camber arms so yes it will work the only problem I had was the bolts did not match the holes well so I had to file them out. I am in Japan and I had the parts for the 15 sub available.



I am certain by the way
