Couple quick questions

[Exiled 240]

Sorry i tried search through the forums and could find what i was looking for. I could be blind tho.

First subject is the coilovers i got. I bought the Tein Basics for my s13, Now some of my friends said i need to buy the top mounts for them, and others say the oem mounts will work just fine. Is this true? What is the advantage of going with the pillow ball top mounts?

Second subject is my engine rebuild. I ordered all the parts i needed 89.5mm pistons, eagle rods, cometic head gasket, arp headstuds, and then i ordered brian crower acl bearings but was told that they are no longer made and i should just go with oem bearings? does that make sense? Are OEM bearings good enough?

Thanks for the help.

go with clevite for bearings

Are all ka24de bears the same? Or since I bored out the block do I need a different bearing?

sorry for the late reply... im not 100% but i think all the clearances are different... and choosing bearings depends on your power goals

For your coilover question top mounts are to adjust camber, oem ones if you don't care about camber or have adjustable front lower control arms.
