Coilovers

[ztunelover]

how much are they? and im tlking about the ones better than the function xs i think i got that right?

[ztunelover]

ok i just checked out the hks website and their new hipermax coilovers dont include the z32 or the s14. so hks is eliminated. So we are left with the JIC, Cusco, Tanabe, Greddy, Stance.

i might be a idiot but i love my megans... and my buddy was running hks and for the money im very pleased..

[White Comet]

megans will feel great....until you experience better. any cheap coilover will feel better then 20 year old stock stuff

[miracleboi123]

STANCE ALL THE WAY =] or atleast poweredbymax but not good if its your daily driver.

[White Comet]

not good if its your daily driver.

lies!!!

[miracleboi123]

i heard its too rough if you use their regular spring rates or w.eits on their site! they even suggested it ...

[White Comet]

i've been in one thats dailyed with pbms and its fine

[ryan516]

i dont mean to thread jack but where can i get more info on silkroad coils?

theyre on the formula d s13.5 so they must perform.

their site is currently under construction though

[ztunelover]

Silkroads from what i heard specialize in drift setups. i havent heard much about them from the time attack or grip crowd. but there are others that would be able to answer better than me. isnt there anything about silkroads on the forums?

Koni yellow + ground control coilover setup = win

they offer optional springs to exchange on the coils....so instead of running 10/8 you can go 8/6kg...and since you have the extra you can change them in and out for when you need/want to

you can get some info on thier site but yeah, construction.i found this site that carries alot of stuff, dont know how reputable they are but heres teh silk link http://www.intecracing.com/Silkroadpricelist.htm

[Tsukiko]

... really?

also APEXi coils

My Apex'i EXV N1's are effin schweet. <3

[asoomal]

Tanabeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee with the TEAS controller

[Chris28]

I have an s13, but i'm rockin Tanabe coils and they are great. I've ridden in a friend's car with Teins and my car felt more planted...i guess. His car was a little stiffer but around corners it just seemed like my car stuck to the ground more haha.

My only complaint is that I wish the fronts would go lower. The adjustment is a collar type so the bracket is welded on, where as with PBM's the bracket is threaded so you can take it off and flip it allowing for about an inch more slammedness.

lol at even having megan in the same thread as jic and cucso.

[ztunelover]

hey thats called being fooled by the local guys. i wish i could remove it but i cant.

[Kalypso]

how can we forget... Yashio factory!!! ( built to spec by hks )

enjuku racing carries them

which coils do you guys feel are most "street" friendly ? 90% of girls taht drive in my car, can't stand the stiffness.... but i give it to them anyway...lol

no but seriously

[AZ89two4Tsx]

I love my JIC's. I haven't really experienced anything else but from what I can tell, they're of VERY good quality.

Coilovers should definately be something NOT to skimp on. Kinda like brakes.

[simmode1]

I had my heart set on Stance GR+ pro's until I stopped by mt local performance shop yesterday and found out they could get me any JIC's at roughly half of MSRP...

JIC Magic FTMFW

[pj]

yashio fac. products looks like a punkers hair.but i still wuv'em since we're adding nice sets to the mix, how about d-max

[ztunelover]

how well do the d-max units perform for grip situations?

[ztunelover]

yup im considering the yashio factory unit too now.

[Kalypso]

... I still dont understand the science behind what makes one set of coils better then the other...

I just follow brands.. I need a real education

[ztunelover]

well from what im reading the setup for the d-max coils are they are too tight on the damping even with the adjustability, so its no so good for grip situations, the yashio factory is well i dunno so im reading up on it.

but the JIC flt-ar

[Chris28]

another thing...don't buy into the adjustability thing. You don't need 64 way adjustable coilovers if you're car isn't a dedicated track car. I have what...1 way adjustable? Unless i have dampening control, which I don't think I do, all I can adjust is the height, and I am perfectly fine with that.

i feel the same way haha

[ddgsxr504]

i like this thread. it feels like there are more s13 coils then any other chassis..

K SPORT



silk road is also dope...

I personally run Ksports right now and they are meh.. The only reason I got them was because they were $750 to my door, which was the price of a spring/strut combo but with the Ksports I got the lowering ability that I wanted, and I got to choose the spring rates (9/7). The valving is the problem and the early models were prone to seal failure which led to them being blown. They have since re-vamped their dampers with better seals. I paid $100 and got 4 new dampers and they have been holding up for almost 2 years now.

My next coils will be either Apexi/Dmax/PBM.

[ztunelover]

im going to mess with the damping and reboud for sure, to rebalance my car perfectly. just dont need a ridiculous unit. so instead of the flt-tar im getting the flt tas... unless the tar is discounted
