All in good time man. Doing your car up properly should be job number one. Get the right parts the first time; ie coils. Unless you're really set on not tracking it then springs/shocks are fine.adjustability=racing.

Yeah, rite now, no tracking... And probably never. It's cool to watch, but I don't partake... So I'm just going springs/shocks. Later on down the road, if my interests and needs change, I can always buy some good coils. Dark in the daytime:

OK, a couple of pictures. I think I might take some more on my break and I will also post those. Most of the pictures I take are from my cell phone. Its conveinient. I take an oversized picture, send to photobucket, resize, then link. And the pictures arn't that bad. Later on, after I get the car lowered a bit, I will take my digital cam and go on a photo shoot.

Hobby Lobby. Michaels might also have it. The company is "Testors" the spraypaint is "Model Window Tint" or something like that. I'm gonna go to break in like 30 minutes. I have a couple of cans out in my car. I'll get all the info you want. And some pictures of the paint. I would HIGHLY recommend using a clear auto paint over this. The first time I tinted, the tint stayed for a while, then peeled right off. Now that I've re-sprayed and clear coated it, it hasn't given me anyproblems, and we've have MASSIVE amounts of HEAVY @SS rain and really hot days and cold nights. So pretty much all weather except for ice/snow and its lasted.

so how WERE your springs at carlisle yesterday nub? lol. somebody wants coils... but i wont mention TOM's name... OOOPS  but yeah, just a small auto-x course on a paved area... toms car did grip pretty darn well, and i guess we wont find out how the PBM coils do out there, cus i woke up with a killer migraine and my back feels like death. figured a 3hr round trip of driving, a day of tracking, etc wouldnt really help my head or back much. there are plenty of parking lots  but pflicht, seriously, buy GOOD coils. you will not regret it. ive put my PBM's thru their paces already, even on the softest setting, they are nice and firm. i havent had the balls to stiffen them anymore cus i like how they are now. i cheaped out before and bought KSport. ill say it til the day i die, their products and customer service are GARBAGE. driving this car with pbm's is night and day compared to a Ksported car... i was shocked at how big a difference it was. cars looking good man, but ya may wanna save up your cash and instead of doing cosmetic things to your car, you should probably patch those non-existent frame rails and floorboards. i say this cus i had to on this current coupe. the guy gave me a good deal at $300 for the whole patch job. came out about 90% to my satisfaction, some of the welds werent crazy penetrated (kinda like a cold solder joint) but overall, its such a great feeling to not have to worry about more rust. /novel keep at it man

Have you decided what springs/struts you're gonna go with? I ended up getting the Tein S techs with AGX's. IMO the Teins are a bit soft but installing the AGX's is probably the best thing I've done to my S13.

mrgreeneyes: NO no and NO to coils... I don't need them. They are a very nice luxury. I can hold off for a long time, being Im not gonna be doing any tracking. Spending +$900 just to lower your car is F*CKING REDICULOUS and I am not going to do it.Metaru_Gia: What was the final drop of your car with the AGX/Tein S tech combo? Pictures?

if your goal is JUST to lower it, then buy ebay springs. but its not. you want a nicer ride while being lower. tom has kyb's with eibach springs and my car can destroy his in the twisties... i dont have em just for ride height, i got beautiful performance out of them. thats all im saying man. i just dont want to see ya have spent money on a spring/strut combo then ride in someones car with nice coils and regret not putting that money into coils as well. i did something worse than that lol... i wasted $800 on ksports only to find out that for a meager $200 more i could have had PBMs. I felt robbed/stupid for not doing it right the first time.
but this is your car, your call. i just wanted to share my experience.
if struts and springs are your thing, do it. i wont "look down" on it or anything. i respect being on a budget. i blew my budget outta the water and im in debt because of this stupid car. lol but i heart her, even if shes ugly and spraypainted

I've had Tein HR's before... I know what coils feel like, I love them. But they came WITH my old hatch. I need to go to the salvage yard and see if they are still on the car... Now to find the guy that took my car... lol No srsly. I love coils, but Im not dropping a grand for em. $400 is about my limit, so yeah. Spring/struts right here. Later on though, Imma get some coils. When my budget allows. But I have 1 blown strut as it is, and I can't be saving up for a couple months just to get coils... Maybe I should get a second PT job... hmmm

second PT job ftw. lol. i guess i misread where you said "i can hold off for a long time" where it now appears that you meant you can hold off on coils, not on time. makes a LOT more sense now lol. i first read that and took it to mean that you could wait a while to change the suspension...

lol, naw... I need to get this taken care of ASAP, and then after I have rebuilt the motor, then I can pick up a set of coils... hmmmm I think I might get ksport... lol JK!!! ur gonna suggest PBMs but idk, I might just save up and grab some Teins.. I liked my old ones. Damn, If i had only had an extra pair of shocks/springs back then I could've swapped em out and still had my coils. DAMN IT!

The car is originally from New York!
OK, I picked up the latest issue of Project Car, and Tein has an ad in there that suggests an MSRP of $750 for the Basic Damper Coilovers. Is this what they are going for???
Adrian? Anyone? It just seems unreal that a complete coilover setup by TEIN would go for that kind of price.
