Might as well help...

As others have said, worry about maintenance. Don't wast your money of fancy arms and crap yet since you have none of the other supporting mods.

Modifications need to be viewed as a family, with out all of them, you won't get benefits from any of them.


So,

Stock S14.

You have coils so you can lower a bit and get rid of some body roll. You can also adjust the front camber a bit.

Next you should get those steering rack spacers, it's like $80 by GKtech from Enjuku.

While installing those grab some new tie-Rods and ends. Enjuku has ISIS and Circuit Sports for like $130 a set.

Since your in there replace your front lower ball joints. Don't eBay it, you don't want it to separate while sliding and crash. Buy Moog brand from Autozone @ $60 a pop. Yes it hurts, no pain no gain. I can't stress this enough. Cheap auto zone ones are known to bust apart on the street if you hit a pot whole. Your gonna have a bad day. Buy Moog!

Since you're still in there, and you wanna race, time to update your 20 year old brake fluid. Drain it out, get some good fluid and install stainless steel brake lines ($100 from Enjuku).

Buy some good brake pads (hawk, ebc, project Mu), you don't need nor want "race pads", just any of the street pads from these brands. ~$170.

Lastly, a "drift knob" for your ebrake from Enjuku, $10-15.


So yeah, not a really cool way to spend ~$600 but that will get you some more steering angle, better braking and much needed maintenance/safety items so you can run all summer long. Spend whatever else you have on some cheap OEM wheels and tires to burn up.

Long term you need a real diff ($800-1,400), then you'll need power (turbo/V8) and bigger wheels/tires for that, then more angle and adjustability (aftermarket arms). But that's the $10k mod list.

Buy a harbor freight /Costco Alumium floor jack for $100 and some $20 jack stands if you don't have them. Throw away your OEM scissor jack. I don't want to see you ded.
