Best suspension part manufacturer (RUCA's, tie rods, etc...

[johnny butt]

Since we're on the subject anyway, I'm not too keen on suspension components...I've been reading about the S13s suspension, and parts seem pretty simple to replace and I've got bands in mind for each component I will eventually replace.

My problem and question for you guys (&& BrianHarte I guess..) is this...

I am riding on some struts and Eibach Sportline springs that are on their last limb. I had thought about a KYB AGX + Sportline combo, but decided initially I'd like to adjust ride height later on, so I decided on coilovers.

I've narrowed it down to a few brands, probably some KTS (Don't know which, can't find much info on them...) or some Stance GR + Pros (900-1200$ range, sound right?). I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I would be better off replacing anything else when I put new coilovers on? Or would I be able to get by with just the coilovers for a while until I can save up and get a few more suspension components?

For anyone elses' info, I plan on doing a similar setup to this article whenever I could get $ for the other parts (aside from the coilovers):http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=349876

Any other recommendations would be appreciated, this is going on a '93 S13 Convertible with an RB25 swap, so a little more weight up front and in the rear than most S13s..

Thanks.

It'll move up and down a lot, not left and right, so that should be enough.

Yeah, I understand that. But it looks like it won't allow the movement that a heim joint would. Maybe a better pic of that end would help with clarifying what kind of end is on it. Most arms usually have this kind of end:

My PBM arms have no bind period. It has all the movement it needs. End of story.

PBM's heim joint looks bettern than others since it covers ball joint all the way.

OK, so some of you know me, I'm the guy doing the custom Jacquemond wide body kit, I have to replace my rear suspension, I was looking for a good package deal....I found the Battle Version Suspension Arm Package For around 825 and i also found the Peak Performance for around 855. Both Kits includes:*Front Tension Rods*Rear Upper Control Arms*Rear Traction Links*Rear Toe Links

Now my question is, which one is better or is there a better pacage deal from another reliable company?I guess i should also throw out, my car will have between 500 to 600 hp but i don't plan on drifting my car.thanks for any help you can give me.

[Sky240PWR]

i just checked out there web site and now i am very interested in them. But i want to hear more reviews about this product and on one of there products they said that they NEVER FAIL (true or false)

[rb24t]

so far so good, i dont think there has been an issue with anything yet. check out driftstl forums they are a sponsor and you can read and check out more stuff about them and even ask some of the guys running their stuff on there how they like them.

[BrianHarte]

CUSCO. yum yum

[rb24t]

cusco's good s*** for shure but like a few other manufactures its just too damn expensive if your on a budget.

[ronin083]

ebay FTW

[__CURRTISS__]

Ahh threads like this are really helpful lol. Now we just need one for coilovers because I don't know which company to go with.

normally I would b**** about somebody saying this...

BUT

You have a good avatar, so I won't b****.

[rb24t]

why ? its true. i would have every suspension piece on my car made by cusco or kazama but i just dont have the money and for being an amatuer drifter or an avid autocrosser it just doesnt make sense when you can get great quality stuff such as Yamato Garage or spl or others for a fraction of the cost and still get a great reliable part. b**** all you want im right and we all know it. btw thanks for the kudos on the avatar its such a great movie def a classic.

I just received my SPL arms, and their hybrid adjuster is a great innovation. I'm VERY glad I went with them.

[ventrex]

haha, i joke i joke

[Ninjamasta]

I just replace my tie rods from SPLs, and I didn't believe my friends told me that its huge until I see it in person. It's true what they said about cheap parts out there, "You get what you pay for." Now I'm saving up for SPL parts.

ebay FTW

Have you seen these pics recently? eBay arm broke on someone's s14 on the highway. Seriously, people must stay away from eBay suspension parts.

[sloweighty]

[Baby Zilla S14]
