Car: Looking for 240sx!

Post

I am wanting to get some suspension for my car it's an s13 with sr and I daily drive it, take it to the track on weekends sometimes,, and drift with it! I am on a budget as there are other things I need money for so i am wanting to keep it around $850!

Now I found some Megan street, Megan Track, and Ksport coilovers for around that price range and was woundering what would be best for my use! I noticed that the street and Ksport are about the same spring rates but the track is 10k FRONT and 12K REAR! I am affraid it will be way to hard but for the same price is it worth it? Would, I be able to set the setting on soft and enjoy the street ride?

Thanks

Look for some blown cusco's or something for dirt cheap, send them in to get rebuilt, get back fully rebuilt cusco's that beat the crap out of megans. Or just find some good used coilovers which isint to hard to come by on nico, zilvia, ebay, etc.

But if you want to buy new for no more than 850 your choice is pretty much ksport and megan so if thats the only choices id go megan.
