The B13 and B14 Front suspension is very similar. I have B13 AGX's on my front because it is slightly shorter and allows for less travel. The rear is totally different. The B13 has an independent rear were the B14 has a solid rear beam. So obviously the B13 and B14 rears are NOT interchangeable. You have a lot more working against you in a B14 simply because of the rear beam not having 0 toe from the factory. Here is the link to the suspension write up that answers all of these questions and more.
