Yes, i will have pics up as soon as i get them, but for now, a story will have to suffice.

A local buddy off nico, 574-240sx, came across a vert. It is very clean and straight, more than i can say for my current vert. He picked it up, and upon a phone conversation between myself and Nick, I became the new owner of it.

Its a 92 with more miles than my current, but the lack of rust and pure stockness of this one makes up for it.

Soooo... the question is... what coils, in your guys opinion, should i get.

Tien - http://www.enjukuracing.com/gr....html

Have never drove a car with this set up. Anyone have any input?

Stance - http://www.enjukuracing.com/st....html

Love the feel of these, and i think IMHO are the best bang for your buck.

This vert will see maybe 1 or 2 days of driving a week, but none in the winter. My old vert will pull DD duty untill i get my hatch back from my brother. So I want a nice, firm, solid feedback set.

Im doing everything right on this vert, no short cuts or hack jobs. The car itself is mint and i want to keep it as clean and un-rigged as possible. As with my current vert, when i got it, it had its few problems that made me not so fond of it, and in turn, made me hack it. And as the years have went by here at Nico ive found myself looking at cars that have made me mine. 94_240sx's vert has given me a entire new out look on how clean a car can be. So with his car in mind, i set off to make this a car to rival his....(just not white, so his will always be that much cleaner than mine )

I will post pics as soon a I get some time and clean it up, i dont want the first pics of it to be dirty ones.

Thank you!!!!

Stance! I can vouch for them. Tein is still using old technology. What you want is inverted mono tubes which Stance has and that's why they feel good. Most of the time, I forget that I have coilovers. If I have to do all over again, I'll still buy Stance. I rode on Megan and Tein before. I wish I tried KTS. Someone I know has Zeal functions, but didn't get a chance to drive it.

Thanks for the input. Stance has been at the top of my list. Good to hear someone else back them up.
