Hi!

I got s14 5 studs, got s14 lower arms. Do I really need to install them ?

Cause u can take the s14/r33 balljoints and just press them inside the a31 lower arms and it will work just fine.

What are the benefits of having s14 lower arm ? More camber ?Wider track ?

If i got coilovers can't I just adjust the top mount plate and get the same camber ?

I don't plan to use any wide bodykit and the wheels I will use are 8jj +35 up front.

I really need some good advice!

Thanks!

All you need is the ball joints, just remove the clip and carefully bash them out (They need great force, however be careful not to damage the thread); they are a direct replacement for the S13/A31/C33 items. The S14 LCA will make for some serious negative camber, unless you like change front tyres several times a year I wouldn't suggest using them.

So here is the deal.

Pic comparison between r33 and s14 lower arms.

Pls tell me what are the benefits of s14 lower arms. I can't see any.

Its only 10mm longer than stock a31. So whats the deal? I can dial in more camber with my camber plates.

Only benefits are what people have already said. extra track, and more camber. Thats if you think there benefits. and if u have camber tops then u can get more camber that way. Also with the extra track i have found the car follows the road more which is annoying ...even after a wheel alignment. Plus if you already ahve wide wheels that meet ur gaurds then they will stick out a 10mm more than before. I think i will be selling mine and doing the r33 ball joint in my stock a31 arms aswell.

the s 14 lower arms are 14mm longer and give you more camber which i have found makes less understeer. i have had them on my cefiro for about 9 months and tyre wear is very even, surprised me as well. i figure this is be cause when your wheels are turned there outer wheel is closer to 90 degrees to the road than with the standard camber. if that makes sense.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
