hey how's it going everyone. i just wanted to ask another suspension question. wat would u guys/gals recommend for an entry level driver w/ a 240sx fastback? i have no money for coilovers or anything and i dont really want to keep it stock. i also have figured by browsing around that i dont really need coilovers yet anyways. so how about a good spring/shock combo for mostly daily driving, occasional auto-x, and sad attempts at drifting?

thanks everyone.

Why don't you want to keep the car stock? Nothing gets better than the stock suspension for an entry level driver with a particular car

well i want to lower the car a bit for aesthetics as well. i definately don't want to just cut the springs or get some cheap ones, so i just thought i'd go with the cheap alternative of some springs. i dont like my car stock ride height. sorry.

do it whore {slap!!} get some S.techs!!

ae86andrewcrew · 07-31-2003, 07:51 PM

hey. YOU'RE the whore in this relationship! don't forget that ever WHORE! ~slap slap slap~ haha sorry. so everyone agrees that some tein springs are pretty good? no eibach? or other brands?

Muzzy · 07-31-2003, 08:05 PM

I have H&R's and really like them.

RS*R's are supposed to be really nice too.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit with some Koni Yellows and I like them. I also like the fact that I get no attention because it doesn't lower the car very much. I'm not sure if my settings are kinda funky but i have it set to Full stiff in front and 3/4 stiff in back and it gives me a neutral ride, maybe a little understeer but it's not like I'm trying to drift yet. I might wanna switch the rear to full stiff in the future or maybe set the front to 1/2 stiff. It's just that the rear Koni yellows are a pain in the *** to adjust.

I like stock. I drift and stock is the best setup. Why?

Because stock rocks.
