just wondering if theres a good way to raise my S14, we haev some nasty winters here and the roads dont get plowed very often, so im gonna need some serious ground clearance, im not real familiar with the suspension of the car yet as ive only had it for a month or so and havent really gotten down with it yet, so figured id ask to see if anyone knew how i could raise her up, the car is getting 205/60/15 blizzaks on the stock stealies

not really...coilovers won't allow you to raise it higher than stock, and the assemblies are actually shorter than your stock ones.

yeh coil overs wont solve your problems. Even with them raised as far up as they go your car wil still have 1/2 inch to 1 inch drop. But anywa ive nver hered of any one raising a 240! i dont even think its possible and if it is, its wont come be a manufactured product. It will have to be a custom job.

no place to put the car, and i dont really believe in storing the cars over the winter, if youre gonna drive it, drive it all year round
