Coilovers or turbo?

[240sxvaj]

Alright so i have a s13 and have been doing a lot of thinking lately but cant seem to choose either suspension or engine performance. As of rite now i have a built KADE with everything else stock all around. When i first bought my car it was all about speed to me, so then i turbocharged it, blew the motor due to E-Mance ECU and then got the motor built. When my car was still turbocharged my suspension would suck A$$. My stock shocks are still good but it doesnt feel safe when i turn and go through bumps. Now my car is stock again i was thinking about going with looks but then my bro keeps on making me change my mind to go with motor work.

One of the reasons why i chose suspension over speed is because nowadays cops are on the look out for racers and i dont wanna lose my ride.

My question is, should i go with coilovers or should i turbocharge it?

My coilover option will be megan track coilovers. I know people say megan sucks but then so far i have heard good things about it, besides the bumpy ride.

If you were anywhere but CA, I'd say turbo.

[Wretched]

Considering your previous turbo engines and their fate...I'd say go with the coilovers.

coils..

he's had one turbo motor.

will having a better suspension deter you from speeding and racing? the way i see it is, with better handling, you're going to be taking turns at higher rates of speed, because you can. a 240 is going to get profiled, a lowered 240, even more so. so if you're basing your decision on police attention alone, i say get a corolla.

thats actually a good question.... flip a coin i say

[ghx407]

if i could do it all over again i'd start with suspension. GL

this is the exact same thing i said to myself.Thanks for all the votes! keep them coming and tell why you chose what you chose

No point having power if you cannot control it.

I would take a good handling car over one that just shoots in the straights.

[adrianfromthecastle]

coilovers...

duh

this should be a no brainer

typical response from a person NOT from California

Suspenision>Power

[keith0486]

go coilovers i personally would rather a car to handle with out body roll then have a fast car that feels like its going to roll over going around a turn.

[mRodiek]

If you already had one, try the other!

This way you know what you like better if you trash this one lol

bah, theres a s*** ton of muscle-car heads that have a s*** ton of fun being able to shoot down the straights and not being able to turn worth a s***. beleive me i know. PLUS, a stock 240 probably handles better than most cars anyway.

i've never driven a powerful 240 with stock suspension, but i would say a 240 with stock suspension would be able to put down the power better. Weight transfer toward the back is a big deal.

all in all doing the turbo with stock suspension might be safer when it comes down to putting down the power. but yes, coilovers will let u handle and brake better.

Are you saying that boosting it will change the weight transfer? or Having a turbo with stock suspension is safer? orStock suspension can handle power better than upgraded?

None of those make sense to me

[Kalypso]

Koils!

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Neither.

Don't waste your money on a 240.

[slipknot555_666_69]

id say go turbo but get a tune from jwt

ya sorry about that. was too much in a hurry to make sense

to make it simple. i think a softer suspension is much more predictable. so might as well have fun and get a turbo.

[Kalypso]

Neither.

or make more money, and build multiple 240's

and 10 other cars.

[240sxvaj]

alright so i made up my mind.

COILOVERS HERE I COME!

thanks for all the help nicoholicz

[Fish805]

suspension before power is always a good order in my opinion.

[Coeur de lion]

Dude... coilovers hands down.

Why put out power with sloppy handling?!

[240sxvaj]

now i just need to find camber kit for my s13 and then i should be set

[Doya]

Power should always come first
