I'm about to slap some cheap obx coilovers on my s14. Any advice? And one more thing, what are the benefits of putting the 91 cams in my car. I've got over 100k on the odom and can't really afford to rape my motor for a few more years. thanks

My advice:

1) Don't.

2) But if you do, start saving for new shocks...

Aside from the possible safety concerns of running sleeved coilovers of questionable quality, they will drop it _low_ and have very little travel, which may look good, but woll ride for s*** and ruin any dampener you put on there.

If I were you I would not buy them (or sell 'em on e-bay if you already did) and get some Tein springs...they're only $175, but good quality, kinda stiff, and have a decent ride.

100k on the odom??? *gasp*

don't sweat it, I've got close to 110k and I'm still raping it and even thinking about turboing it, take care of the car, and it will be fine to 200k or even more.
