IIRC S-Tunes are coilovers, and seeing as how they are NISMO, they WONT be cheap. Unless you need the adjustability coil-overs provide, I'd go with a simple coil spring and shock absorber upgrade. The KYB still allows for firmness adjustments, and if you REALLY want height adjustment, I'm fairly sure Ground Control makes a coil-over setup for the s13/s14.

heh.

I still have mine and I still love them. ;) I think I am still the only one on here that has them. Any particular question I can answer for you?

As for drop: According to the paperwork that came with mine, the drop for the S14 is:Front - 25mmRear - 15mm

If the only thing you are looking for is drop, go get some Eibach Pro Kits (crap) and AGXs (slightly less crap)

ground clearance is always a good thing. i wanted like 1.75 inch drop but 1 inch would look good too. im probably gonna end up getting those, thanks

The drop is enough to clean up a lot of that stock fender gap, but still be high enough to have travel for those bumpy back roads. The spring rates for the S14 are:Front: 520 lbf/inRear: 44 lbf/in

I am not sure if that rear is a misprint, as the S13 are F: 520/R: 373. Might wanna contact Nismo to get that checked out. The ride is stiff, but not harsh so as to kill your kidneys every bump.
