Strut towers, yes I meant strut tower bars. I was using shorthand that my friends and I adopted after talking about cars so fucking much. Whiteline does make coilovers -- my friend has seen an Australian magazine test where whiteline suspension components including nonadjustabtle coilovers they pulled off a 1.25 G skidpad test. Mind you, the car was quite lowered, too much so for street, but nevertheless, that handling is amazing.

I can get the RB25 clip for around $2400 plus a small shipping charge... no more than $3000 at the end (for the clip anyway). I've been doing research on all turbo options (KA+T, SR, RB, CA) for a while and the RB is best suited for my goals.

The rotors are KVR/Brembo.

I'm not surprised that my friend was wrong about tire widths, he drives an S14 and thus I'm sometimes on my own as far as the S13 goes. If I can fit 9 or 10 inch wheels stock, that will GREATLY reduce the amount of work I need to do to get the RB in. My main frustration prior to this was the thought that I need to get wide wheels in order to deal with the power output from the RB, and that was going to mean going 5 lug, getting wide expensive wheels and tires, and then all the widebody shit to support that, which means a paintjob because I refuse to drive around looking primered.

In any case, thanks for all your help. You may have allowed me to do this a lot sooner.
