Best for the money

[S13XERolinLo]

Ok we are starting from nothing, ruined springs, shocks, and struts on a 90' 240 XE. So for $450-500 what spring/shock setup would you all figure the best for the money?

[BuudWeizErr]

you forgot to mention the atrocious aero kit, jdm tyte interior, gay wheels, and that awesome wiper conversion.

Oh my...

You posted in the wrong forum.Post here: http://nicoclub.com/zeroforum?id=140

Doesn't matter what kind of springs or shocks you'll get.... with rims that probably weigh 45lbs at each corner the unsprung weight will make the ride terrible enough.

Well...for $450-500 you could get KYB GR2 shocks and either Eibach Pro-Kits, H&R Sport and Tein S-Tech springs. I'd try to get new dust boots and possibly new strut mounts for the front too (KYB makes both of these products).

I got my GR2's, dust boots and mounts from Tirerack.

PLEASE spend the money on getting stock bumpers and wheels, even steelies.

Nah man, I've got a better idea. Paint it bright *** green, slap some ugly graphics on it, and paint the wing, mirrors, and wheels orange.

Oh, and get a hood that looks like a giant set of dragons nostrils.

Yea man.

STEP #1:Ditch the rims

NICO police rule book page 2156 article 59 states and I quote, "Not too much bashing on other members' vehicles will be permitted. Threads like this will then be closed or deleted and any record of a member posting this will lose this useful post and will have to type it again the next time this problem occurs and he/she will not like that."

Soooo...Maybe. MAYBE I mis quoted a lil bit, but yea you get the point.

So Greg, how'd I do?

He could probably get some 4 lug OE alloys with rubber for cheap right here on NICO. Anyway, even though the wheels are ugly fixing the suspension will make *driving* it more fun.

I'd work on the performance stuff now and fix the errr...aesthetic "issues" later.

[Zydeco]

Come on, that his first post dont scare him off.

[240DRFT]

you could try buying something used...

[240marcuSX]

try the suspension forum.

but im guessing you would enjoy the kyb/sportline setup, that should be fine. and some bigger/less bling wheels would look nice.

and i cant believe those ba$tard kids stole one of your wipers, thats just not cool.

it looks like your paint is in good shape btw.

I like Tokico's and you can get them for like $200 shipped on ebay, plus some good springs for $200 and you're set other than camber kits.

[S13XERolinLo]

Yeah I got the car like that, used for show. I want to get a lot of it changed but personally I dont know what I want to go for yet, Ive only have it like 3 months.
