check out their suspension section for info on nismo components.

it looks like tein basic dampers for an s13 have 6kg front and rear. you might want to double check this....found both on google.

Wow. Def. looks like the Nismo is a true comfort coilover! Looks like this info shows that I am going to be getting Tein basic coilovers as oppsosed to any of the other setups I was looking at.

the difference in spring rate ratio front to rear should be considered. tein basic keep stock, nismo are somewhere in between that and what most other coilovers use (the 8/6).
