    most of the braces wont fit an s14 unless you cut/weld/mod your chassis.

    I don't have pics but I can tell you what's different...

    The lower arms are strengthened
    There is a bar across the floor of the boot at the very back
    One between the rear subframe mounts
    One under the gearbox at the front between the chassis rails
    One each side between the pillars and the roof above the seatbelt mounting points
    One each side behind the rear bench in the spare wheel well
    One each side under the carpet below the rear bench to the inner quarters

    That's all I can remember, the best and only real way to get pics is if someone has stripped the interior out as most hide behind the trim/headlining/carpets. Hope this helps

    The boot brace is obvious, the rest is either covered by trim or under the car, like Dean said.



    The Spec R only came with the bracing too, not the Spec S.

    If I remember rightly Phil from drift works documented all the extra braces when he was stripping out their s15. Can't search for the thread right now as I'm on my phone.

    the tension rod brackets are also different, they are strengthened and have a plate that bolts between them that runs along the radiator support panel.

    the tension rods are differnet to s14 ones in the fact they have a kink in them.

    im doing a bare shell rebuild on my s15 spec R and have just started a thread over on DW about it.id do one on here but am not a member.
