I was lookin for coilovers for da front of my 14 and i was told that ones out of a 180 wont fit cos the bottom holes are smaller, thats all i no weather its true or not

[NIALL JZX]

s14 and s15 are the exact same front and rear are'nt they

[kevs15]

s14 and s15 are the exact same front and rear are'nt they

fact, wel fronts are anyway because i just took the
leaking ones out of my road 15 and put them into
the drift 14 for mondello last weekend..

[jimjim]

so would 180 ones fit if i drilled the holes bigger??

Don't buy fucked second hand coilovers,get lowering springs and new standard shocks,only cost about €150 all in for rear and will handle like a dream

[sideways boy]

Standard shocks with lowering springs is a bad combination mate as there is too much travel in the shock for the shorter springs as they are obviously designed to work with the standard longer springs. I know because I have had cars like this and they were a disaster. Pure uncomfortable unpredictable and way too bouncy and you have no adjustment either. There is nothing wrong with buying a scond hand set of coilovers once they are not leaking and coilovers are the only job if you want a proper handling car.
