Hey I have sprint springs w/ kyb GR2 on my 96 240sx right now. I am looking to buy either the Arospeed or GC coilovers but I'd rather go w/ Arospeed because it is alot cheaper. My question is, does any1 have arospeed on their s14 to give me reviews? (I've used the search button but mostly I've found ppl ragging on Arospeed w/o even using them and I've found ppl saying Arospeed is pretty good but they were on civics) Will Arospeed really handle better than my springs right now (I don't care for comfortability, as long as its not horrible)?

thanks

Just something to keep in mind, you really do get what you pay for.

the GC's are more money, but will give you better performance. Also, you can get different spring rates to suit your needs.

There is a reason they are more money.

Aerospeed, Ractive, R1, are all cheap versions of a coil over sleeve.

I personally wouldnt buy a coilover sleeve kit. Either stick with your upgraded springs and shocks or go for a full coilover system (JIC, Tein...)

thanks, I know you get what you pay for, but at this point in time I'm just not ready to pay $400 for GCs. The point of me asking is 1. to see if the aerospeed will handle better than my sprint spring set up and 2 to find if aerospeeds are just crap that I should stay away from.

If there's no negative review of it (ie: fitment problems, performance problems) then I tihnk 'll go head and trade in my springs for it ^^

thanks for the help, always wanting to learn more bout stuff so feel free to enlighten me

IF you dont want to buy something quality, stick with your springs. YOu dont need adjustability if you dont know what your doing, and if 400 for a set of proper lienar rate springs, and decent cleeves sounds like too much, you obviously dont.-chet
