Agency Power 5 lug conversion spacers

[Casey]

These little guys.

their purpose? to fill the gap when doing a 5 lug conversion with s13 coilovers, and s14 struts. *s14s use a larger strut upright bolt*

anyways. they did the trick but i knew the second i looked at them they werent going to fit perfect. just the quality of the machining.

they dont look exactly like the ones in the picture either btw.

anyways, apparently no one taught them how to hold tolorances while machining. or they are blatanely designed incorrectly.

they slide in very loose into the spindles *should be a 0 tolorance or a press fit* and they slide onto the bolt very loose.

my guess is that there is between .2mm and .4mm of play in the strut and upright after instalation.

so sure, they do the job. but i could have hammered copper pipe to better tolorances than this. what i had in there before was a string of solder hammered flat and wrapped around the bolt. it worked perfectly. it was better than nothing and guess what. there was almost no play between the coilover and spindle.

/rant. dont buy them. ill machine some proper ones when i get access to the machines at spsu. kthxbai

you guys are gay! bump for people ignoring muh thread :(

[J Squared]

Bump yourself! This is why we can't have nice things.

[Casey]

huh? lol


this is important. i dont want people buying these spacers anymore. cuz they dont do what they are advertised to do!

[Echonova]

This is a true story, only the ones I got were waaayyyyyy to big to fit in the spindles, but the inner diameter was too small to fit the bolt through. Quality control FTL.

[Casey]

haha mine were too loose in the spindle and too looose around the bolts.

this is terrible. im gonna machine some myself. oh also, they were about .2mm too wide!

[MossMan]

Great I just ordered some of these yesterday. I hope their to big at least I can fix that. Thanks for the info guys I just wish this was up yesterday.

I just decided to drill the strut holes up and use S14 spindle bolts. Limits the resale crowd on the suspension, but whatever.

[JTA021]

I sell them, have used them and so have others. $35 lmk if you want them.

Not agency.. we machine them ourselves

[Elizabeth Reed]

the ones i made andy worked great

[vqdreaming]

i just stay 4 lug, problem solved forever no extra work needed

[Andy C]

the ones i made andy worked great

[Elizabeth Reed]

i have heard these are rare...

[C.Ward]

damn i hate shitty fitting parts. i just bought a steering bushing eliminator and i have to press a wider hole!!

[sponce]

pm me the inner, outer, and length specs you need, and i can make you some up, that way you can see if they will work for you

[Casey]

spencer i dont have any measuring tools. i need to buy some. lol

[Elizabeth Reed]

i have all the measurements at work.

[Casey]

[JJ Alfano]

Im confused on why you need these? Why would you use s14 struts on s13?

[Elizabeth Reed]

[Casey]

cale you said that 6 months ago!

[JJ Alfano]

Why dont you just use the hubs on s13 spindles?

[Elizabeth Reed]

no one paid lol

[Casey]

You cant dumbshit

[vqdreaming]

if you cant find a "good" set of 4 lug wheels your not looking theres enough out there just quit being lazy. Also you have mustang wheels on your car WOW what a big upgrade, sorry casey.

huh?

lol you think i went 5 lug cuz of mustang wheels? no. i converted my s14 to 5 lug for brake upgrade and to run s14 se wheels. then i got a good deal on some 95' cobra wheels. hater! my s13 has been 5 lug from the get go.

[vqdreaming]

no no, i know you didnt go 5 lug just for the mustang wheels i was talking about the other guy but know that you have them as well.

[Casey]

ah. ya 17x9s are fun but id trade them for some good aftermarket 17x9's in a heart beat. plus the rotas i have on the rear are just cuz i can lol. they're still shitty rotas.

[vqdreaming]

they look so sick though, the rotas

[Elizabeth Reed]

^bite your tongue

[Casey]

they look so sick though, the rotas

ha i wish i could run them up front too. but theres no wayy! lol not with 275's not with 255' either lol. offset isnt right for the front.

im gonna probably spray the rotas silver

[vqdreaming]

thats true those are huge for the front

^bite your tongue

[Casey]

[Elizabeth Reed]
