    5 stud converted, which front arms?

    Hi guys,

    been reading through the forums and I cant find a definitive answer thatll save me buying the wrong arms.

    Im looking to get some driftworks arms for the front, and I am 5 stud converted but I didn't do it. Is it safe to assume I am running s14 arms upfront?

    The 5-stud hubs need the S14 lower ball joint.

    You can fit S14 lower arms (which are 10mm longer IIRC) or you can press S14 balljoints into S13 lower arms.

    cheers bud.

    I have just checked driftworks and the lower arms and tension arms are for s13/s14/r33 etc anyway so assume it doesn't matter! oops!

    I used s13 arms with s14 ball joints. I have a spare pair with new ball joints & inner polybushes.

    Yea you've gotta read the description.

    The shortest the go is S14 length, so you'd need to compensate for that if using them.
    Basically it's an S14 adjustable arm, they can supply you with S13 hub pins if you want to use it on a 4-stud S13 though.
