s13 5 lug conv question

[Topnotch]

i installed the ichiba or s5 something or the other 5 lug kit on my car and just bought some s14 rotors and used my stock non abs calipers.
well the rears seamed to work fine but the front rotor hat was different so the rotor iis pushed a little bit closer to the side of the caliper bracket.also the rotor was slightly taller in diameter.
the rotor actually rubed the top of the caliper bracket. after i bolted the wheel on i tryed to turn it and it locked up after a quarter turn. so i had to grind my caliper bracket and my rotor to fit
did anybody else run into something like this?
What rotors did you guys use?
and what calipers?

i used s14 rotors and just kept my stock calipers.
i bought 95 rotors btw

I had no problems with it. My oem caliper worked fine with 95 se rotors. Maybe you were given the wrong rotors?

[DOOK]

i bet they gave you the ABS version or something

which kit did you install?

so if i get the 5 lug hub, and s14 se rotors, my stock calipers will still work?

yes s14 and s13 calipers the same

I used new NAPA rotors on my S5 Ichiba shit, and I had no problems, sounds like you had the wrong rotors.

[VAs13]

will the s14 5 lug hubs work also?

i used ABS rotors from my 95 on my 93 with S5 hubs
they fit fine

[FaLKoN240]

will the s14 5 lug hubs work also?

Clarify your question better next time.

Front S14 -> S13 = No.

Rear S14 -> S13 = Yes. I have S14 rears on my car currently.

yep...i did the 95se 5 lugs with stock calipers and everything works fine.

To clarify, ALL ABS rotors are slightly larger in diameter. Also, ALL 97-98 models as well as convertibles use the ABS caliper/rotor setup, whether they have ABS or not, so if you got a set of 5lug rotors off a 97-98 they're larger and will rub the caliper. Your options are to switch to ABS calipers, or get 95-96 rotors.

uhh thanks for the clarification. I believe that i used the 98 rotors on my non abs s13 but i dont remember for sure.
What do you guys use for 5 lug slotted and or drilled rotors for cheap?

[thejapino]

ebay = cheap

junkyard + resurface = cheaper
