s14 front shocks vs s13 front shocks

by what i have seen in pictures the s14 fronts look like they are shorter then s13's is this true ? does any one have a side by side compairison of OEM or KYB's'? if they are shorter that means idealy its a better shock to use for lowerd s13's. just an idea since the coilovers are interchangable for the fronts...

There shouldn't be any height difference in the two. The main difference is the size bolts that go through the lower section. IIRC, the S13 accepts a 12mm bolt and the S14 accepts a14 mm bolt.

aren't s14/s13 shocks up front basically the same everything (except for the lower bolt hole)? That's what I was told
