hello im looking at buying some lower front arms for my s13 but ive got 5 stud conversion. im running s14 arms at the moment but would like to fit the shorter s13 ones as my wheels stick out too far. will the s13 kit bolt to the 5 stud hubs?

Hi Rich,

Couple of things..

Yes they'll work with whatever hubs you're using, they come with fittings for either. :)

Regarding length, with all the turnbuckle adjustability retained the front lower arms are 10mm longer than S13 lower arms at their shortest setting, BUT it is possible to get them to stock S13 length (give or take a mm or two) by removing the locknut on the turnbuckle. That means to lock it out it has to be wound fully in and locked against the arm, and therefore it's not possible to adjust it with the turnbuckle any more, but for fine tuning you can remove the end and rotate it, since it will still have the locknut for the rod end. It just makes the adjustment less convenient. However if you do just want them at stock S13 length then that's fine, job done. :)

Next problem, they're currently out of stock, we've got another batch arriving mid-late May, so you're looking at around 4 weeks.
