PIG_31 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) all good. forgot you will need to swap front lcas or press the s14 ball joints into the s13 arms as well. you'll also need new inserts to reduce your front stubs from m14 to m12 for the suspension mount bolts or use s15 uprights or drill out the mount holes on the coilovers\struts Edited January 22, 2013 by PIG_31 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/418277-5-stud-conversion/#findComment-6717508 Share on other sites More sharing options...

masTers Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Sorry to hi-jack. Im looking at converting the front of my DR30 to 5 stud and using S13 coil-overs. Is it better to use S13 fronts with Attain hubs, or use the S14 gear? Only advantage I can see with going the Attain route is the hubs are brand spankers.

jun 2.7 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 S14 gives you a wider track.. Not 100% sure exactly how much but i think its around 15-20mm both sides Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/418277-5-stud-conversion/#findComment-6719337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgz32 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 cant i just use s14 hubs, knuckes and lower control arm and im set? this way dont have to press in ball joints etc?

PIG_31 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 yes, if you are happy with the track increase and the resulting camber change (or can adjust it with tops) you will still need to sort out the mounts or use s14/15 uprights Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/418277-5-stud-conversion/#findComment-6727587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
