B13 front struts are 1/2" short than B14 front struts, otherwise they are identical. Installing B13 front struts on your '99 is an easy way to gain 1/2" of suspension travel.

here and SR20DEForum for more.

well i havent done this but from what it sounds like he is saying is that the only difference if that they are 1/2 inch shorter than the B14. so installation will be the same. u will have an extra 1/2" of suspension travel. u have a 96 B14 so installation will be the same as his 99 B14

well now that everyone has informed me that the gr-2's suck i might buy them just to see how bad they are. and i'll give a complete report on the install and ride.

i can sell you my old tok's. i only have three (both rears and right front). you would have to buy the left front new. but u would prolly save even more money. make me an offer if interested. if not leave it be
