whore time for those who want to tuck tire these coils are not for u they go low but not extremly low.Coils are maxed out in the rear and the front has both collars removed, it will look 100x better once i get these crappy wheels off my car..My girl Tiff is BOSS!!!



ill shot more once i get the new wheels on

thats actually not bad at all. its not super slammed. but its about as low as i would want to go for a daily driver. with better wheels and a kit it would look super dumped

Anyone got em on an s14 already?

I love how people on forums act like they have a "super" exotic car that has to meet perfect zero tolerance standards. They ride ok = better than stock or equal and you dont bounce. 500$ whats not to love.

If you want to spend 2000$ when you could have put it in your motor i would really question your...goals....

Maybe if you had like 15-30gs in the car it would begin to make sense. Just had to throw that out there maybe im the only one laughing.

Spooled240 has it on his Kouki and it's pretty decent, although he did say they're too bouncy. You can't really slam your car, but it gets the task done.

it's not low enough for my kind of taste, but i guess in the end it cancels out 4x4 stance. for $600 shipped i guess its ok. For $400 more you can get some PBM's which are made to be driven hard on or set up for DD for just $60 more. I'm no rich kid but i'd rather save up a little more for something nice.

plus i'd rather tell people i'm rocking PBM's, not GodSpeeds.

My first Choice: PBMhttp://www.gtfactory.jp/cms/page.php?9

mmm.. ok ur right those things look pretty nice. 1000$ is pushing it but even the rebuild 100$ sounds like they are backing up their product. Feedback on those..links or add? customer service?Where to buy em?

On the other hand one could just buy two sets of godspeeds..

PBM for Daily not thanks, ive never tried the softer springs people have been talking about, but the stock PBMs raped my ***hole with the roads ive got here.

I suppose if you live in an area thats absolutely pothole and irregularities free it would be OK. But for me its just not worth the stance to have a daily driver that uncomfortable.

PBM is godlike when it comes to customer service and product backing, the only complaint you might have about PBM is them being too stiff, but as i said for some people this doesnt matter, if your roads and driving routes support them PBMs are arguably the best Value for money coil there is.For a Track car they are peerless.But for dual purpose of DD only there are other better alternatives

And the only place to buy them is from PBM themselves send them an email and theyll quote you with expected delivery dates, i believe they have S13 coils in stock right now so delivery would be super quick.

Your wheels are 18s right?Then its not so bad, for a daily driver thats perfect, and id rock that height anyday. A decent Lip and skirt combo and youll be set.

17s would look perfect on that car.

ok, well i just got off the phone with one of the ceo`s of godspeed coilovers and all the there just like meagns or worse and made in the same factory, well false, they have there own factory. and the closest thing they compare there cils to are tein, not megan or apex. im not saying everyones worng and im so smart and know s***, ill im saying is hat the company said themself. honestly, ill be buying coilovers in the next few months or so and probably go with kts, but you never know, ill be periodically researching more on these through the months to see more about them for me and people that, Should get proven coils but want to pay half price for maybe almost the smae thing lol

o, ad get a pic up here, its will help, start your own thread though and post it on here so we dont wreck this dudes thread anymore then we have with our bulsit. im super eager to want to see these, ive been wanting them but ya know, im worried lol

i think what one of these threads need is a side car video showing how much they bounce and what not, to show if there at least decent enough to not just save another $500 bones

i guess my thread went on a little spurt while i was gone lol

to try and answer everyone questions...

coils still feel like the day i installed them paint is about the same just waiting on the front 5 lug hubs for my new wheels.

if i didnt mention before the slammed pic is with both collars removed and the rear maxed out

to get your wheels to lean in just dial in some camber it will look like pure sex...

the fender gap is about a quarter inch up front and 1/8th out back

my next act of bussiness is to get a in car video and exterior video of some regular driving and then some stuff just to show how the coils handle.

just other stuff that is probably gunna go in soon

cant wait....and hell i might get a pair of these, all i need is Zero body roll and a stiff ride, wth pretty much only that amount of drop(2.5front-1.75rear)probably going to go with kts at spl but keep this thread alive and i might just save 500 bucks and get other stuff for the car

what version are these? type SS /RS/ or???

ps: i have 300zx rear 5 lug hubs for sale!!
