Front Brakes

RichardK · #1 30-01-2007, 17:29

I've been offered these:

Would they fit?

S14 Front Hubs x2
S14 Front Hub Bearings x2
S14 Front Knuckles x2
S14 Bolts and Nuts (Knuckle ? Shock)
S14 Front Lower Arms x2
S14 Front Ball Joints x2
S14 Rear Hubs x2
S14 Rear Hub Bearings x2

I know the hubs are 5 stud but I've not bought any wheels yet...

I'm pretty sure the rear hubs are useless unless you use the S13/14 subframe (loads of work to fit that!) but the stuff for the front is all usable. Someone will probably correct me but I don't think you need to go down the 5 stud route.

EDIT - Scrap that five stud part, I think i'm being an arse again!

Sorry, ignore the parts for the rear on that list. I just pasted the list I was given.

I'm only interested in the front.

Would it be ok/safe to have 5 stud on the front and 4 stud on the rears? Obviously I can get the same wheels with different stud patterns.

I now have some S14a calipers. Just collected them

yeah course it would be rich. When you get your next wheels get the correct offsets and you wont need to use those spacers you bought. And i can then buy them off you

Use Z31 rear arms for 5 stud all round.

Use S13 stuff, it will make your life easier

Forgot to mention, that if you were to use S14 hubs you'd need to use an S14 ball joint in the S12 arm. Wouldn't have a clue if it fitted.

You could use S13 or even S14 arms but this would involve a lot more work in relation to the tension rods, anti roll bars etc.

So basically, the best option for ease of fitment is stick to S13 parts...

Been offered these for £180:

s13 front hubs,
discs (wont be using those)
wheel bearings
front track rods and ends

seems a bit expensive?

that might have included 4 pot calipers as well tho, so will check that as i already have a nice pair of those.
