they look good to me and makes sense if you don't have the bolts for the s14 conversion. :goyou:

If they are anything like the ones I had made at a machine shop they should be nice. I had some made out of brass and out of stainless steel and they've been working out nicely.

thanks for the replies. I will most likely go this route than the attain/gto route.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I searched and could not come up with an answer... Plus I figure if the info is posted in this thread then someone who searches later for the info should be able to find it... Does anyone know how to get in contact with the guys from 5lugsleeves.com to place an order??? Are they even still doing it??? Reason I aks is because it seems there site has not be updated in awhile, and I don't have AIM chat.... I would like to try and order from them before I ask a machine shop to make them for me... Thanks in advance!!
I'm not ecstatic about 6061 aluminum used, but they'll likely be fine. I could see them possibly deforming if you track your car on R-comps. That's a lot of load and the spindle will likely be in the 300-400 deg F range, so 6061-T6 has lost almost half its tensile strength at that point.
I'd say they're perfectly fine for street driving/autox/drifting though.

Just to follow up incase someone searches for this in the future, a company called agency power now makes these, they call them shock mount sleeves... I ordered mine thru phase2, so now I have everything to finish my swap to 5lug...

so if you use s14 bolts you have to drill out the strut? Cause i dont know if i would trust these that much.

dude way better idea is to drill out the S13 struts to the 14mm then get OEM S14 nuts and bolts for that. Chances are your stock ones are already worn out or rounded a bit and something like this is cheap to get from nissan. If your good you can even drill offset a bit to get more camber. If using coilovers just get an S14 front lower mount, or drill it out centered.

just drill out your shocks to fit the s14 spindles.
way cheaper and faster. i had a hell of a time trying to get ahold of these guys then realized that hey , im from Texas , ill drill out 2k dollar shocks to make them work.
