i bought a s13 like two weeks ago and need a coilover set up pretty bad. i was looking at tien he's which i heard are really good for drifting(wich is what i want to do)

my s13 is also my daily driver. i heard that the tien he's are horrible for your everyday drive but proform very well on the track.

so basically i was wondering if there was a coilover set with best of both worlds?

and if i were to get a different tien set up one that is edfc compatible could i just adjust the damping force when i want? could there be a better option for coilovers?

Take a look at the SPL coilovers. Quality is very good, and I haven't heard one complaint about them yet, and they are a little cheaper than HE's and definatly have better shocks. I have mine sitting on the living room floor, no time to put them on and it's been pouring rain. Run a search for them, there's a few reviews in 240gen andthe suspension forum.

If you need to drive in different situations then go with Tien Flex. Good for both street and track. It also supprts the EDFC so you will able to ajust as needed.

ok so i did some research and decide on two. but i have no idea on wich one i should get.

spl / kts coilovers (1040 shipped)or Tanabe Sustec Pro SS Coilovers (1246 plus shipping)

both are availible for overhaul.

so basically i would like to know what you guys think and how these perform on the track and how they perform on the street.

btw my s13 is my daily driver as well.
