So i installed the circuit sports street coilovers on my S14 last night and just wow. Fitment is perfect. As far as driving, they're very aggressive. I would compare to Megan tracks. They're pretty rough even on the softest setting. Only complaint is that the rears go STUPID LOW, and the fronts barely drop at all. Maybe 3 inches? I will post some pics here soon. They're very "drift oriented". They're literally so stiff, i cant get traction when pushing through turns. It's a very controlled slide, but still slows you down. Anyways, just my thoughts on them. I'll keep adding my thoughts as i drive on them more.

Maybe try and put some helper springs on the rear? Not sure if circuit sport themselves sell em, but I am sure you could find either stance or swift or whatever have you brand that would fit (depending on your spring diameter)

These have threaded bodies. Did you loosen the lower nut and adjust the body to get ride height? Did you have alignment after install?

i got them a little softer. the knobs were a little still since they were new i guess. Still a little rough tho. But yes these have threaded bodies. i had to raise the $s!t out of the backs. But the fronts are pretty much maxed out. Bodies all the way down and collars down. That's a little disappointing. I'm getting an alignment after i get some RUCAs. there is sooo much rear negative camber that its stupid. had to raise yet again to lose some camber.
