After 3 years of dreaming, finally proud to own an S14

I just have the tokico blues with H & R lowering springs for now. Until I get my Tein coils. But for ride quality they are really nice and the springs with them for me is a decent combo for how cheap it is. Just check my 40's Stance on my FB photos.

I was thinking about tokico's but a couple friends I know had them and they blew, soo I don't think tokico's are good for nebraska roads. they are pretty s***ty here.

[kouki slydwyz]

lol the roads here are horrible too liz lol i just drive slow so i don't bend a rim and I know the roads pretty well so I know when to drive normal and when to be slow in all

haha for real, I'll probably do that this weekend, we're putting on the serpentine belt and recharging my a/c! I just put on G35 wheels today, should've tried out the LSD then..whoops.But jesus hell man I was totally wondering where you went! I was about to pay $110 for a headliner from another guy, don't let me do so!

Also... anyone recommend another kind of struts/shocks besides KYB AGX? and Koni yellows...? I think I'm having cold feet about the Stance coilovers.

why are you having cold feet with coils? Go KTS

Coils are super expensive and I don't know if I can honestly wait that long to lower it lol. I don't plan on tracking the car or anything, just regular dd stuff.

[nifares240]

the amount of money you will spend on shocks and spring will cost almost as much as coils. I just switched to coils, and my car is too low, not slammed. I am saving for tires so I can put the 17's on and raise up a little clearance. If you do plan to get some wheels on the future, the shocks and spring will not give you a good fitment especially on wider wheels.

I live in Nebraska and love my stance coilovers.

Yeah I actually just put on '06 Infiniti G35 wheels on my car, they're 17's. So I guess maybe then I should just stick with coilovers? Can you recommend anything a little bit cheaper than Stance? I mean I can save up for them in a couple weeks and get them but $1200 is insane.

Like say.. Megan street coilovers? I seen them on Enjuku for like $900, a lot cheaper for me. Anyone know how those are?

im riding on megan streets right now. their fine but if i went to the track alot more i'd definately get stance.

as with any coil setup their ALOT stiffer than stock and any shock and spring setup.

they work good for what i use them for(basic dd) im sure you can get them for alot less than 900 too. got mine for about 7xx bucks shipped a while back brand new

it would be wise to think about rebuild plan with coilovers. I would definitely suggest SPL KTS Coilovers. you don't need to send the whole assembly for rebuild. they will charge you for the shocks and you will reassemble the coils. I really don't know if Megans offer a rebuild policy.

I literally JUST read a thread about the rebuild policy and stuff, apparently Megans don't offer a rebuild. I think it sounds like my best bet is the Stance GR+ coils? This is just for strictly dd though, my car is an automatic with a bone stock KA24, I don't plan on beating on my car, not so much drift in it either. MAYBE when the streets are wet here and there but not something that will become a hobby, for now at least. I just don't want to spend almost a grand on something and have them blow out within a few months.

[Elbowblk]

no need to rush. im sure if you look around you'll get some good deals.

I really can't decide between the megans and the stance's, I've got about $600 save up and I graduate high school next Saturday (YAY GRADUATION MONEY!) soo, I kind of want to make a decision but be set on it to look for a deal. People say megans are good, then bad. But the only thing I hear is stance is bomb. lol.

so I'm thinking Stance GR+'s it is guys? Might as well save another paycheck and get the them instead of Megans hmmm...?

[nevertheless]

phase 2 has em for 1100, but if you go to any forums advertising section they can hook you up. I got the ALs for 1200.

I'm waiting for a reply from intensepower.com for the Stance GR+'s, hope I can pick some up in a week or two!

I can vouch for intensepower.com! I just purchased and receive my S14.5 Origin 20MM fenders from them a week ago. Awesome service, especially when I accidentally ordered 2 set of fenders (4x), they called and verified did I really wanted 4 fenders. They could have been douchebags and taken my money, but they went the extra mile! Hope it works out for you.

[Liz Aznnn]

I hope so too, if I can control myself from the mall for the next couple of weeks I can buy 'em and finally drop my car, I can climb mountains! Anyone know if it's pricey to get your fenders rolled?

[nevertheless]

I ordered mine from intense power and i can vouch that it took a month to get my coilovers.

Holy s***, did they do anything about it?

Depends.....You can rent a rolling tool, and do it yourself.

hmm, looks like I have some searching I need to do. thanks

[driftneil]

I've seen a couple on here.

[sr20power]

well you can try to find a person who rents a roller....but it can be done with just some patience and a baseball bat/metal bar. Search youtube on DIY fender rolling...

[kouki slydwyz]

liz, i would just roll them yourself. that's what i did i used a one inch pipe to roll the lip in on the fenders/ quarters, then went to a 3 inch pipe and got someone to roll the car slowly back and forth, till it makes a nice roll. and also make sure to use a heat gun on the fenders. because you'll need to heat up the paint so it doesn't crack. It took me and my friend about 30 mins to do both my quarters

[Liz Aznnn]

Hmmmm, sounds like something I'll have to look into... I gotta keep myself away from here til Wednesday. I have finals and I'm out of the high school hell hole FOREVER!

gotta get my Asian-ness up and running and hit the books.

[kouki slydwyz]

good luck lol

[Liz Aznnn]

I'm done with high school forever!!!I should be getting coilovers within a week or two now

[sr20power]

Congrats!!! Did you end up going with the Stance coils?

[Liz Aznnn]

Thanks!

But I think I am tomorrow, I get paid so I'm gonna deposit my check and put a deposit down on one if I can pay for the GR+ Pro's by the end of the month, which should be easy. So I should have them on by the end of this month, probably sooner!

[sr20power]

Sweet...You will definitely like them over the spring /shock combo. Seems like you have been busy with school and S14. Well now that school is over any updated pics with a REALLY camera? =P
