WTB s14 coilovers - have about $1,000 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Looking for something comfortable with lower spring rates, but that's not a deal breaker.

Not interested in Meagans, D2, K-sport, etc.

Will spend more if a really good deal or EDFC included. Cash in Hand.

Thanks.

kts or pbm. both in ur price range and both way better than the ones u listed.

buy yourself some new coilovers, used coilovers are no fun when you have to take a huge gamble/risk to find out you got some blown POS

Powered By Max (pbm) coilovers are $1000 and they are amazing coilovers... Not to mention when you blow one, a replacement damper is only $100! and EDFC is not that amazing. I would rather save a couple hundred bucks and turn 4 little knobs...

hope that helps...

What are the spring rates on PBM and KTS. I want something forgiving for DD, kinda like Tein Flex.

jsasrsr · 07-07-2008, 01:03 PM

to be honest i was running tein flex's when i bought the car, and i switched to stance gr+ pro's which i have now. i liked both, but no matter how you look at it, a coilover is a coilover, and DD'ing it is gonna suck.

PBM coils are known to be stiff, but if you run them on the lowest damping setting, you'll be fine DD'ing... i dd my stances and i just avoid potholes and think about how much fun i can have at the track..

as far as the spring rates, there pretty high.. check the website... they have awesome customer service too.

Just bought some used Tein HAs off egay.
Not sure of the spring rate, but I think it's 6/8
