OK, so Im planning out the suspension for the S13 and have come across a few questions I cant seem to find many answers for.

Im planning on running the KTS Ultra Low coilovers. Theyre the same as the standard KTS coils I had before except they have a 2" shorter Swift spring in the front and 3" shorter shock body in the rear. Has anyone here known anyone thats tried these or remember reading anything about them?

Also, given the drop that these coils can provide, would adjustable LCAs be required? It is supposed to aid with getting the roll center back in spec on vehicles that have been excessively lowered. Who would I be able to find to align the car with these extra adjustments?

Im already planning on tie rod inners and outers, tension rods, and all the control arms in the rear. Basically, I know there will be some compromise in performance with an extreme drop, but I would like to minimize it. I just dont want to lower the coils all the way down and wish I could drop it a little more like I did with my last setup.

Also, any other pics, suggestions, or products for a "slammed" S13 are welcome in this thread.
