direct fit lad, on the front u will hve 2 either drill the holes in the coilover from 12mm to 14mm as the 14 hubs use bigger bolts to hold shock to hub,
save u some time on the rears just unbolt the 4 17'' bolts holding on the bearing to the hub and chage that only

I thought you had to use the bottom ball joint from an S14 on the front too??

according to a driftworks\google search i need s14 bottom arms for the front...
Yeah you need to change the ball joints to s14 balljoints "moog joints" the s13 ones have a different taper on the balljoint
according to a driftworks\google search i need s14 bottom arms for the front...
S14 arms are are about an inch longer than s13 ones you can press new s14 balljoints in to the s13 arms but they are a bit of a squeeze they are slightly bigger

i have s14 front hubs on a 180 all u need to change s the stub axel (the stub axel where the hub squeezes on to is fatter on a s14 than a 180) hant any trouble with ball joints..
as for rear hubs have two brand new hubs for you if you want pa will take both four and five stud rims need bearings tho!!
there a near direct fit on
wat i did on my ps13 was i got copper piping and beat it through the hub to make a bushing so i didnt have to drill the coilovers out
