lowest s14 coilovers? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

20 til 3 · 05-13-2007, 04:07 PM

looking to see what type of coilovers enable you to go the lowest on the s14 chassis, i know the tein he's put the s14's on the ground but i'm wondering if there is anything better out there that will get it lowest to the ground ( i have stock aero)

thanks, btw i searched and couldnt find anything

dig up some of the lowdown threads and look at what they are running

DDrugs.
But they're no longer available.

gotta240 · 05-13-2007, 06:21 PM

K sports...but you want better.

nismoWhore · 05-13-2007, 06:36 PM

STANCE goes low

Ichi-Go · 05-13-2007, 09:23 PM

gp sports go the lowest I think. Just look for pics of Scooters car.

Farzam · 05-13-2007, 09:25 PM

Dude just don't put any suspension on it.

IIIXziuR · 05-13-2007, 09:28 PM

OMG that would be awesome.
Just take the springs out(?)

*fliprayzin240sx* · 05-13-2007, 11:08 PM

You want low, go bag the damn thing...Youre wasting your money on coilovers if all you wanna do is slam the car.

youngmanvr4 · 05-13-2007, 11:53 PM

I agree.
Bags for show.
Coilovers for performance.
You hurt performance going super low like that.
So why waste money on it?

chmercer · 05-13-2007, 11:58 PM

why waste money on a mitsubishi

those are obviously not performance related

20 til 3 · 05-14-2007, 07:25 PM

you can have a car dumped and still run it... you wont be perfectly set up but who cares... i was looking at stance and it seems like that could be the lowest so far...

bags are gay... i dont have a lexus, pickup....

and if you dont like how it does perform, you can get better adjustments out of a coilover compaired to air ride but yeah

I wouldn't say that.

Is that why the '94 vr-4 was faster in the 1/4 mile than the '94 corvette according to car & driver?

Hmmm?

To each his own.

mizizax · 05-15-2007, 12:57 AM

any dual height coilover will go lower than you are willing to

1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 5.7 14.2

1994 Chevrolet Corvette LT1(auto) 5.5 14.1
1994 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 4.7 13.1

Yeah. You must be talking about the gayer one of the two.

And WTF 14 seconds. WOW quarter mile. Both ways, that shit sucks son!

Who knows what will happen the second the road turns left at the end.

No need to defend your land boat.

1994 Buick Park Avenue Ultra 7.3 15.5

You're car is 1 second faster than a Buick. LOL

It's on now!

OP: Once you go low, I hope you're willing to beat your fender wells. As well as rip out that granny panty liner. Going low with anything smaller than 17"'s is cheating. Being sunk need not apply.

cgguy · 05-15-2007, 11:54 AM

Stance goes very low. They are the only ones I konw that use different spring sizes front and rear. 175mm springs on the fronts and 200mm on the rears.

With the shorter springs you have more room on the threaded body to raise up the lower bracket. If I dumped my Stance all the way down I'm pretty sure I could scrape my oil pan along ground.

bleach8484 · 05-15-2007, 12:13 PM

My Tein Super drifts have ALOT left, my fenders are sittin on my tires.

(its lower now, than it is in the pic)

***FaLKoN240*** · 05-15-2007, 12:19 PM

I believe Stance specially designed their coils to go LOWER for S-Chassis.

Irukandji · 05-15-2007, 12:27 PM

Stance
DDrug

J-Style · 05-15-2007, 04:07 PM

I have only heard good things about Stance...and they will put you on the ground.
