B13 Shock and spring in a B14

im2kwik4u · Nov 3rd, 2003, 09:17 AM

I have read in lots of forums that in order to gain suspension travel, you can switch b13 front shocks with GC coilovers.

My question is can you put b13 front lowering springs with the b13 front shock in a b14???

Yes you can, but there is no reason to. You will not gain any travel with that setup. You can only can travel if you use the coilover method.

I have a question. Can the front b14 shocks fit the b13? what are the pros and cons?

Why would you want to do that. There is no advantage.

Actually to my knowledge the stock B13 front strut has 1/2"-1" more travel than the 200sx strut.
