s14 rlca fit s13 rear subframe

[road bandit sx]

I'd like to say hi, this is my first post.
Could someone tell me if s14 rlca's and knuckle complete with caliper ,rotor and ebrake cable will work on s13 subframe? Are all the suspension mounting points the same. Or is there major problems if I try to install the s14 parts onto the s13 subframe. Will the suspension geometry change? Thanks

The S14 parts will not fit the S13 for the most part. The S14 RLCA and toe links have wider inboard pivot points. The S14 RUCA will interfere with the S14 shocks. The e-brake cables are different and are not compatible. The traction rods and knuckle/brakes will work because they're the same on both models. You'll need to use the e-brake cable to match the caliper you use. If you have the whole S14 subframe, it will fit the S13 with a little grease and a little cursing (and a floor jack) and has better geometry. Just swap the RUCA's and e-brake cable and you're good to go!

Thanks for the info, so the s14 rear knuckles are the same as s13 rear knuckles,the coilovers will they bolt up the same?Is there any benefit to using s14 flca instead of s13 ones, is this a direct bolt on?Any info would
be helpful thanks.

I'm pretty sure the s14 knuckle has longer "arms" but, regardless s13 and s14 coilovers are the same. S14's are just a little bit longer in the rear.

A bit? Try 4 inches.

S14 FLCA's are longer than S13's, and the ball joints have a different taper.

s14 flca is longer then the s13 flca.How is this a benefit as far as suspension geometry is concerned? I was going to use s14 flca with the spindles,rotors and calipers.

Gives you more camber.

[road bandit sx]

how can you get more camber for the rear suspension, any s14 parts that will help?will be using coilovers .

We've discussed this for years, literally.

Why ask when you can find a million threads on it?
