Im looking to go with the Eibach springs also. &nbsp;Tokico gas shocks look good to me also. &nbsp;Maybe suspension Techniques for the lower end.

HAHAH!! &nbsp;Sweet dude! &nbsp;"I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin...but unicorns KICK ASS!" &nbsp;Reminds me...I need to watch that again sometime soon. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Not to stray from the topic too much. &nbsp;I wouldn't waste your money on Tokico shocks...If you want a damn nice shock for the money the KYB AGX's are 399.00 for the whole set from www.stranoparts.com &nbsp;They have I think 3 sets left now...they're on the specials page.

As for springs, the cheapest your gonna spend is probably around 200 or so. &nbsp;I'd go with either Eibach or H&R.

So how much would the average total setup be for springs and shocks? Why not just go with coilovers...?

Hi guys, its me again, just wanna ask a question, i'm planning to convert my S14a to S14b.

Now the question is, what do i do with my entire S14a front end after i convert it?

Can anyone give me some idea? (other than the thrash can)

Minor technicality. . . S14a is new style, S14 is old style (kouki and zenki, respectively) anyway... &nbsp; What I'd personally wanna do with that front end, if I had an S13... would be to slap that on the front of that car. &nbsp;I haven't seen a pic of it in awhile, but the zenki S14 front end looks incredible on the 180sx. &nbsp;The lines flow well with the rest of the car... You need fenders though, so you might have to throw the fenders away.. &nbsp;I think MASA makes S13 fenders if anyone is interested. &nbsp;

Anyway.... &nbsp; What I'd do with the fenders? &nbsp;I'd find someone with an S14, kick the fenders... then leave a note on the windshield "Hey, noticed you have some dents... please call me ###-####, I can help" &nbsp; And yes, I'm joking.. I can't believe on this forum I have to explain that lol

Okay, fine anyway.. back to topic. &nbsp;

I can't tell you what setup to get, personally... &nbsp;I LOVE the Tein coilover (can't remember model)... &nbsp;Coilovers in general are the best route, provided it's not from some crap domestic company. &nbsp;

The route I'm going is this: &nbsp;HKS super form springs (1" drop), KYB AGX shocks (finally for S14 now.. could never afford GAB), &nbsp;Suspension techniques sway bars, and &nbsp;cusco strut tower bars... &nbsp;The reason why? &nbsp;I'm too cheap and impatient to wait till I have the money for coilovers, and I want to minimize the adjustability, cause I'd always be fucking with it. &nbsp;Reason for 1" drop... it snows a lot here sometimes, and I can barely move as is.
