Overkill?

[S14Life]

I'm wondering is having Sportline springs/Koni Yellows shocks, ST front and rear sway bars, front and read strut bars AND a Nismo Powerbrace is worth having or just overkill? What would you take out of the equasion? And just to make it easier, assume it's not for any specific reason like AutoX or drifting.

go for it. solid suspension = fun for you

Alright. I'm hoping it will lso get rid of all the little vibrations my car has, or at least get rid of some. Ever since I got my exhaust it feels like my engine is just gonna drop out at any moment~

[D1SR240]

I don't really see how it would get rid of the vibrations?

[BB Turbo]

Just put dynamat in every conceivable place. That outta fix it real nice:)

Sounds like a good set up.

[driftaholic]

try new engine and/or transmission mounts to fix a vibrating motor and/or transmission

[S14Life]

Wel lwhen I eventually do the SR swap I am planning on getting Nismo mounts so that will probly help a lot too.

i have almost every suspension part on my car with the exception of the front lower controll arms and i have to say the car rides great its use full for even regular city driving...

and for the vibrations on option is the engine torque dampaner from projectsilvia.com they have this for s13 and s14.... my friend has it and seems to work well....

I pretty much have the same setup + project silvia adjustable tension rods. IT's not overkill! Those who tell you it is are weirdos.

As other suspension pieces wear out I'll tackle all parts (FLCA's, rear adjustable a-arms, etc...).

Overkill would be putting stainless steel brake lines, a 2" cat-back exhaust, Koni Sport Corrado struts, Neuspeed lowering springs, a 16v Scirocco Brakes with vented /slotted Powerslot rotors on an '89 VW Fox :pface (maybe I'd better shut up now...). The point is, It's your ride, I say go for it. My daily car is a total beater/piece of crap and gets quite a bit of ribbing here at work but I love it and it's fun to work on. It also gets 38 mpg Hwy/27 mpg City and handles like a car worth four times the price. If you use this as a daily driver, you will enjoy the handling every time you drive the car. It all depends on what you want the car to do for you. Now If I can only figure out the wiring for the knock-sensor so I can do that 16v 2.0 conversion...:firedevil

i have almost that exact setup, except i have the pro-kit and no nismo power brace, it is pretty fun to drive around, and auto-x. but just dont forget tires, without good tires youve got nothing.

FAR from overkill. this setup is pretty mild in my opinion.

Now If I can only figure out the wiring for the knock-sensor so I can do that 20v 1.8T conversion...:firedevil

Fixed it for ya

:icesangel

:eyecrazy I don't think there's a pry bar that big!

[Nismo_Freak]

I'll find a way lol.

[240SXedUp]

Ya, nice setup. When i get the money im gonna get a bunch of whiteline products from PDM. you can never be to overkill on suspension ive heard. I dont think theyd stay in business if it wasnt worth it! My front strut bar alone made a big difference

i think that's a challenge
