its a bit different for s14s, since theyre heavier and whatnot.

or maybe the selection for s13 lowering springs just sucks. because everyone with an s13 should know to just get coilovers anyway.

that is true... its just that s13 naturally sit higher .. you"ll about a 3 inch drop to get rid of most of the fender gap and the lowest spring only drops you 2.2 or 2.1.. its just a waste of $ for springs on a 13

I have to agree, for lowering springs it does.

But, it doesnt sit low enough.

man that looks really low for teins. teins are only like 1.2/.8" drop so basically nothing.

it seems like tanabe springs give some good drop tho.
