I've kind of set my mind on getting some rsr race springs for my S14, and I was wondering if any aftermarket shock will work with them. Where do people buy their shocks? The only adjustable shocks that I've found are the kyb agx's, and I couldn't find any of those for my S14... Lastly, is there anywhere to buy upper pillowball mounts/camber plates? I really have no need for the height adjustment of coilovers, so my aim was to buy high quality suspension for less $$.

Any help is appreciated,kyle

Koni's are adjustable, front and rear. I have Koni shocks w/ eibach prokit springs on my S13. I love Koni's, though they are a bit expen$ive, but worth it IMHO.

yes...Koni's are extraordinary shocks. They've got the adjustable portion at the top of the strut, not at the base as the KYB's have them, and have a lifetime warranty. Oh another interesting fact, Koni's with silver paint on them are Nismo shocks as I recently found out from my buddy who works at a dealership parts department.
