i got a used set of tein basics with only 1,000 miles on them for $550. if you can find a slightly used but perfectly working set i would reccomend going that route. search around in the bst forums, i know ive seen tein hh's for $1000

Fred..

I highly recommend the D2/Ksport coilovers. I've got 9/7 D2's w/ camber plates and they rock the house.

If you really want those k-sport coilovers, send trix an email, and they'll probably get you a good deal on them. Or you can talk to mark who also has some shipments on the way for the d2 coilovers.

daniel- thats a little to expensive for me

crzycav86- i believe i read somewhere that they were selling the ksports now for 1k+.. but i'll give it a try. who is mark?

Post by **daniel** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

bummerbest price on HE you'll find retail

Post by **SHIFTrl240** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

yeah... if you still have them in a few months, and i havent found something else, i should have the cash... but those are a lot of ifs

the nismo s-tune, anyone have them? how are they?

Post by **daniel** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

S tune is street tune

equal to TEIN basic.mehgood if u dont want to do any heavy drift or anything with it..but seriously just wait to get something nice

i want ot try some GP Sport GR6 dampers

Post by **rico05** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

I drift all the damn time on my S-Tunes.

I get so sick of people saysing you need this or you need that to drift. All you need is FR and balls. Period.

Post by **daniel** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

S-Tune literally means STREET tuneR-Tune is RACE tune

i never said he couldnt drift on themgood for you rico

He was the guy that took over the original d2 coilover group buy from me. Talk to him on aim at advautoparts. He just got a fresh shipment, so he might have extras.. but he's not a NICO sponsor.

Anybody has a link to specs for s tune coilovers? What is the drop? I was looking on nismo website but couldn't find anything.

I am also looking at Tein HE or FLEX for S14. What is the difference other than EDFC? I am planning to use them for autocross, track, drifting and daily driving.

The nismo coilovers are just that, coilovers, meaning you can adjust the height

As for HE vs. FLEX, Tein describes the FLEX series in their brochures as being for show use, i.e.; if you're actually going to drive your car hard, buy the HE's

Also as another side note, it's possible to get the EDFC working with just about any coilovers on the market, it just takes a little work.

Daniel, I've got a new set of the GP GR-6's sitting in my garage if you're interested. I'm going for Zeals instead.

Post by **SHIFTrl240** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

msaskin: as stated before, i believe the s-tunes are non height adjustable...

180fan: how much?

Post by **rico05** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

Non adjustable. 25mm front drop, 15mm rear drop.

Post by **daniel** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

cool 180fan

i want to drive on them first before i buy them.so thanks for your offer!

what are you looking to get for them?

Post by **Dystopia** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

Dan i have heard that the GR-6 are just section/silkroad coils rebaged at least thats what Mike says...

and its all about the GR-4

Post by **daniel** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

Post by **SHIFTrl240** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

so the ksport and d2 gb's are all over and they arent being sold anymore for the 700 or whatever right?

Post by **nametakennow** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

Yeah, I get that impression too but I'm not sure... damn, that sucks... I should have the $600 that would have been necessary by mid-late June... (bangs head against desk, growls in pain, yells "STUPID STUPID!")

Post by **SHIFTrl240** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

i fully understand your pain

Post by **180fan** » Wed May 26, 2004 5:02 pm

Doubt you'll be able to try them before you buy them since they wouldn't be new anymore. I picked up another set for another local guy but he said they're stiff but had them set on hard settings. They're flat through turns and the gratuations on the side make it very easy to adjust them. Their spring rates are 9kg/7kg which is the same as the JIC FLT-A2's but with better build quality (I can assure you of that since I've tried the JIC's on my buddy's s14 and the local guys s13 was just damn sweet). I gotta ask for 1600 shipped, but they cost me 1800 so I'm taking a pretty fat loss and you'd get them like within a week or so. If you're able to find a better price, let me know their price shipped since I want my function d's and gotta move these coils out of my garage.
