Then you fail. They're 99% the same.

Rear Aarms have wider staunches on the S14 to fit the subframe.
Rear shocks are six inches longer on S14, upper mount stud points are wider.
Rear camber arm is half moon on S14, full hoop on S13. Either one fit either chassis.
Rear upright for S14 has a threaded insert and bolt for the shock mount, S13 is a stud with a nut. Either one works on either chassis.

All other rear parts are the same.

Front struts have a 14mm hole to the spindle on S14s vs. S13.
Front spindle has a slightly larger taper on S14, requires matching hub.
Front LCA is 15mm longer.
Tension rod in one inch longer.

None of this matters, the S13 parts work just the same, look the same, are no weaker or less reinforced. Aftermarket hubs can be used eliminating the need for S14 spindles/hubs. The only reason to use S14 parts would be to fit S14 OE hubs, add camber with the LCAs, or delete the full hoop rear camber arm to make removing the shock easier. No point in any of that since there are other options.

If you haven't found any of this before, close your browser window. You have no business using the internet.
