Hi guys,

I'm running a S14 sub in my 180 + DW Geomaster knuckels in the rear and my CV boot is ripping apart from streching lol. Anybody know how much spacer I'll need? I thought 10mm would be alright? But they're out of stock :ugh:

Unbolt the axle from your stub tube and measure, pretty simple really.

Yeah. Unbolt and measure. Do it with suspension at rest.

S13 & s14 axles are the same length even with the slight different in track width between them.

Alright suspension was at rest but I had to push the driveshaft away, so there is no gap really.

I thought the S14 Subframe was 10mm wider each side and I'm sure it is because I cant run big ass wheel sizes in the rear like on my old car. I also read @ Driftworks about that issue with Geomasters.

This guy mounted 15mm spacer but I think the driveshat could bend when you mount to much spacers. :-/

btw: the driveshafts mounted are S14 though.

are you sure your joints aren't just fucked up?? I never heard of anyone needing for S chassis. common on S2000's. even in the description it saids its for extended lower control arms. do you have extended lower control arms?

only time will tell. I will not run any spacer for now but when the joints fuck up again I'll go for 10mm at least.

I got the new shaft installed yesterday from a parted out S14. I don't have extended LCA's. S14 Subframe + S14 Shafts and Geomaster knuckels.
