    So since i’m converting my R33 to a MacPherson strut, i was wondering if i have to use the r33 lower arms with the s14 knuckle because i don’t know if the s14 lower arm is shorter than the r33 one.
    Also, do i have to use the standard r33 rack or switch to an s14 rack?

    S14 and R33 lower control arms are the same length. 99% sure the ball join tapers are the same too, but if you can, get fresh replacement ball joints and press them in.

    Rack's are interchangeable as well

    S14 and R33 are basically the same. I have an R32 with S14 xmember/rack, S15 arms, S14 uprights lol... mix and match is easy!

    Have you finished the conversion? Thinking of doing it myself.. is it doable?
