I have a base model s14 zenki, and I want to get coilovers. I'm wondering about what other suspension parts are required for a lower suspension geometry. It seems like most people get tie rods, control arms, and camber plates. My budget is around $1600, but I'd like to get some new wheels because one of my steelies is bent. I'm mostly decided on stance coilovers although I'm not sure on basic vs gr vs gr pro (feel free to interject about my coilover choice). That'll probably depend on how much I need to spend on other parts.

Just to reiterate, what other suspension parts do I need to get with coilovers to drive safely.

your not going to setup your suspension with wheels, or suspension alone for 1600.00

i have over 2500 in my stagea suspension....suck yeah

Anwyays, i cant really say search, well becuase it hasnt been covered in the last year ive been here, so i guess ill make an article and make it a sticky

But for you, the MINIMUM ONLY if you are going low, and i mean really lowRear camber armsrear toe arms

everything else will come iwth the coilovers, so youll be fine

after that, replace as you can all the links

I know I can't completely overhaul my suspension for 1600, I'm hoping to get the bare minimum for 1600 and replace everything else as I get more money. So, more specifically, what would really low be? I'm probably going down 2 in. max. The roads where I live aren't the best.

Thanks
