looks good man! i was kinda dissapointed at first with the drop my eibach sportlines gave me, but when you look back at the old days, i coulda driven over a ferrari if i wanted :P stock is like 6" of wheel gap in the front or somethin like that

Heheh, 'disappointed' with the drop of the sportlines? Just you wait.

Your car looks great man!

Props!

Hows it ride with the springs? I take it they are s-techs. I think that is what I will go for. My front end is almost as high as yours was.

[Tsukai240]

did you install them your self?http://www.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=100576

[Jookmasta]

o gosh that factory wheel gap was ridiculous. looks like you could have changed the struts and springs without even taking off the wheel or jacking up the car. lmao

just i wait? for what?

[mixflip]

nice drop...I just bought a 91 coupe bone stock and just like you my car was way up there in the sky!!!!I could fly over speedbumps like a truck.

I installed some S-tech's on the stock shocks and it looks great too just like yours. Lots of people complain about the hieght of S-tech's but I think they are perfect for daily driving. Not slammed, but just right!

[phuphyter]

You were doing a search on tein s-techs before you posted this, weren't you?

hehe

[mixflip]

I am not sure its been a while since I have been on Nico....why do you ask? btw here is a pic of my coupe on S-techs just for the hell of it.....................

[mixflip]

before the tint....

[phuphyter]

I was just making that assumption because there's a ten month gap between your first post and the one before it, so I figrured you dug up the thread by searching. Man, I want some s-techs now. Looks good

[mixflip]

yeah, thats exactly what I did. I didnt realize it had been ten months tho??? Thanks for the props!!!

[ReD*PiG]

Yeah I would like to know to,because I'm also currently running sportlines.But my coilovers are on there way.I went with megans.I know,I know,for a couple hundred more I could of gotten the KTS.But with that couple of hundered I got myself a VLSD.Oh well........so whats the downfall of the sportlines?........dragoness

[ReD*PiG]

Oh, almost forgot,Props......Your car looks way better!!!clean.

[adrianfromthecastle]

+10 for the drop. imo, any coupe/ sedan looks 10 times better dropped.

[HashiriyaS14]

Won't the S-techs blow the GR2's prematurely?

If not I'm going to order this setup, it's completely perfect for my purposes (daily driver ONLY).

Hell, I even have the same car, lol. White S13 chuki coupe (only yours is a lot nicer than my POS).

Wow, this is an old thread indeed.

I know that in comparison to the AGX's, the GR2's are the equivalent of the 2/4 settings on the AGX compared to OEM. I think if you choose a spring that lowers 1.5" or less you should get a good amount of life from the GR-2s.

For someone who has coilovers, I wouldn't waste your time with mediocre sportlines. Just get some KTS coils like you mentioned.

p.s. and do a search on Sportlines, much has been discussed about them and what they do to struts. (hint: I think the Suspension FAQ has some info from a KYB rep in there).

[HashiriyaS14]

Do the S-tech's only drop 1.5"? Looks like a lot more from his before/after pics.

Anyway, I might go this route. If I can get 2 years out of the setup I'll be thrilled, because by then I'll be daily driving something else and I can put spine-rattling coilovers on the S13.
