S13/S14 Suspension in your Y33

[Brokey33]

You can do it man
It's a piece of cake

lol how about taking it off? Can just reverse the pictures to see how its put on I am gonna take flix of me taking the setup apart but its pretty straight forward swapping parts not much customization needed if you have all the parts but I will post pics of how the setup is anyway.

thanks guys!! just trying to get all my info straight so i get the correct parts and what not!! wont be able to do this anytime soon until after my wedding this summer!! Thats where the funds are going at the moment!! but thanks again for sharing the wealth of info!!

[Brokey33]

Well congrats to that

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

Well 1st, you don't NEED to do S13 rears, S14's are a direct bolt on.

But you CANNOT use s14 rear on the y33

.

so which is correct. you both are saying the opposite here, and broke you say you are using s13 all around so how can you be sure if this info

[burgy]

^ That is from when Grant 1st did it a year or two ago...since then he has figured out that not only will S14 work, but they are probably an easier route since the top hats fit right in and they still get low enough. If you plan on going super slammed on 18's like he was then you may want to consider the S13 rears...but if you aren't going that extreme the S14 should be great.

^^^^ Homie's got that shit on lock ^^^^
Well said. I've thrown up some S14's in there, and its a direct fit, no mod needed for the rear. If you chose to rock S13's get a spare set of S14 hats or do what I did and have some custom made.

^^ also can get s13 all around if he wants to go super low and buy a set of Y33 tophats, I got mine from Grant

[EASTSiDE 2 WESTSiDE]

Thats the setup I have S13's all around with y33 Front top hats and S14 Rear top hats. It allows you too go low

[Brokey33]

Hells yeah it does. Done right, people will think your on bags
I wish mine was low again

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

thanks my brothers. just wanted to make sure my info was legit before i took on this little project.

home crashed his s14 and now i get to reap the benefits! power by max here i come! shit rides super low!

i wasn't the lowest dude ever but for daily driving around la at this height you know i wanna go low!

[Brokey33]

Do it ey, one by one we'll be convertin every Q's suspension into an S chassis suspension

[dzznuts671]

^^^^^Thats what i wanted to hear!! Def going to do the S14 route so i can keep my ABS!! Gonna do PBM all the way!! Thanks guys! and good luck with everyones build!!!

[ni5mo240]

s chassi converion is the way to go, plus in the long run it's cheaper, s13/14 coilovers are waaay cheaper and more abundant than Y33, that's another reason I went this route, plus I had most of the parts laying around

[EASTSiDE 2 WESTSiDE]

this makes me wanna not part out my Q but =/ its a 1 seater that kills gas not good daily driver lol. Anyone ever try S13/S14 racing control arms? I know the factory ones work but I always wondered how stiff the ride would get with say Solid Front Lower Arms like SPL Has or even rear ones. I did the whole SPL Tension Rod, Tie Rod End, Rear Upper Control Arms, Rear Toe Rods, Rear Traction Rods.

[ni5mo240]

^^^ plus you would be able to get more neg camber

[Brokey33]

I'm interested in feedback on those too. Didn't need em before, but seein as I want to go wider, I may be needing em. Everything on mine's adjustable aswell, except for front and rear LCAs

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

how stiff is the ride with all the solid rear end pieces?

[EASTSiDE 2 WESTSiDE]

Pretty stiff the car feels like it has more control pretty hard to make my rear slide out before the change. Use to fish tail like no tomorrow now with the changed parts it doesnt even have any wheel hop.

[Brokey33]

Furreals. Feels a lot better. Stiffer. More controlable. Predictable. Comin from your background, you'd probably like it Alex. You're welcome to check out my ride if your ever in my area.
