I've searched and searched for a set of coilovers. I cannot find what i want, nor can i find a good price. I'm willing to pay upwards of 1500 for these to get what i want. But nothing come close.

I want something that is 32 way adustable. Or close. Basically, i want to be able to slam it, and tuck on 15'' rims with 2 inch tire. I also want something a 6/8kg spring rate, or higher. Higher better. I'm also looking for something that is in my price range.

I've already searched, trust me. I've searched everything 10 times over. Nothing is answering my question. I don't want to buy unless i find the exact thing i want.

Thanks

You can't have searched too hard. There are threads like this opened every other day....

But anyways... I suggest you look into Stance GR+, Powered By Max or KTS (distributed by SPL parts)

All these range from ~$1000-$1300 range, even cheaper if you find them on sale (Holidays are around the corner!) and are excellent quality.

And ringing in at right at around $1500 with stellar quality is Enduratech.

Happy shopping!

Powered By Max would be a good choice for you, priced at around a grand, 12kg/10kg spring rates, and made specifically to slam cars. Endura-Tech is a good choice too, but the spring rates are not what you're looking for, at 7kg/5kg.

Once you go into the $1500 price range, your options open up tremendously, with great coilovers from companies like HKS, JIC, Silk Road, and Tanabe, which I'm sure would all fulfill what you want.

Sounds like powered by max is a great choice for you, they go pretty much ALL the way to the ground.

and actually they are 10 and 8kg, for 240's, not 12 and 10

Oh, my b. I guess it's the Megan Tracks that are 12kg/10kg.

By the way, the number of adjustability ranges a coilover has has nothing to do with how low it can go. Just FYI.

Hahaha, it's from a long time ago when I searched "s13 avatar." Not very creative, right?

If you are interested in the Endura-Tech we do have kits that have the spring rates you are asking for. The kits come originally with 7k/5k but I believe we have some 8k/6k too.

There are occasions on here where we will offer a special on the S13 coilovers (S14 too). If you were to search you would likely find that. You are welcome to email me if you have any questions. [email protected]

To any one that is potentially intersted in coilovers, feel free to contact us.We have a good blog at our myspace/enduratech page that discusses the differences between monotube and twintube etc.
