Hey all, I am a long time reader, but this is my 1st post! I am looking to start my S13 project with the purchase of a suspension setup.

-What are some good websites that offer Nissan suspension parts?

-Are Ground Control Coilovers/KYB AGX Adjustables a good setup?

Thanks for the help, guys!

i would get tokico blues and eibach pros WAY before i got KYB AGXs. just from what i heard. from my understanding though, if you get coilovers you will not need to get struts and shocks. a set of coilovers is a replacement for both shocks/struts and springs.

for me, as my daily driver, i'm goint to get a set of tokico blues and a set of eibach pro's for my suspension upgrade.

http://www.splparts.com has good stuff too. i have eibach prokits and AGX and they seem to be working pretty well for me.

GC C/Os are just springs with a cuff to go over the shock, like C/Os on a budget.

a lot of honda autocrossers run GC sleeved coilovers, because you can get any springrate you want, and run any shock you want (provided that it's been valved for that springrate). that style of coilover is also popular with the ae86 guys, but it's not as nice as a "full" coilover setup.

before you ask people to start recommending a suspension setup, maybe you should tell us what your plans are for the car?

daily driven, drag, autox, drift, road race, showcar?

Sorry for not clarifing it earlier, the car is daily driven and im probably going to be doing some drag as the weather gets better and maybe some autox/road racing in spring. Also im in the north east, so road conditions aren't the best
