suspension question

[89 S13 Coupe]

im planning on running the 5zigen fno1r-c 17x9 +15 in the front and 17x10 +12 in the rear with the rt-615 235 front and 255 rear. Its gonna be pretty much a track car, and iv been having a hard time finding out wat coilover system would benifit that setup, if i plan to run any kind of camber and suspension adjustmants. i already know i have to roll the fender, oh yeah i have 10mm spacers lying around just in case i need them. any advice would be greatly aprricated

megan, or k sport would be a good coilover if you dont want to spend a ton of money. not sure what budget your on but i have been pleased with both. i have the k sports on my s13 and my buddy has the megan's on his s14. he is running the exact wheels and tires you are putting on your car and its fine. he has rolled the fenders and pulled them a little, i like the way the car sits not sure how low you wanna go. if your like him he wants to be on the GROUND. haha if you would like to see what his car looks like you can go on our forums and check it out. web address in ALDRIFT.ORG it might not pull up, but if you do it on google you can click the link below and it will take you there i know its crazy. its under the section chat and there are pics of it sitting and driving at the auto-x we just had.

for good coilovers look no further than SPL Parts KTS coilover. i've heard nothing but good about it. just bought mine yesterday. and if you buy them from spl a new coilovers are only 550, buy new threaded monotube shocks from them and your set. mine only cost 1100 or so.

i was actually thinking of the kts ones from spl since its a very good price and it comes with camber plates.

[TURBOHHH]

yeah no problem. but i would for sure go with the KTS ones if thats in your budget. i have heard really good thinkgs about them, although iv never riden on a set but SPL usually cares good stuff.

[89 S13 Coupe]

yeah i like spl i've bought most of my suspension stuff from them including my rims

The KTS coilovers from SPL are still the best buy for the money. I LOVE mine and I've had them for around 2 years.

People rave about KTS, Ive never heard anything bad about them. With a budget of $3000, you can get just about anything. Id try out some Silk Roads if I could afford them.

This is not the easiest wheel setup for sure. A roll is DEFINATELY NOT going to cut it.

Here is18x9 +15 Front with 235/40/18 ST115 ~-3 deg camber18x10 +20 Rear with 265/35/18 ST115 ~-2.5 deg camber



Expect your front tires to be wider than his fronts, because azenis 615 run alot wider than st115s of the same size.

Your rear tires should be very close to the same width as what he is running, but will stick out an additional 1cm, because of your lower offset.

You can't pull stock fenders much more than he has done, because he already buckled one of the quarter panels.

So you are either going to want to buy some overfenders, or run more camber than he is.... which would probably not be good for handling.

i see this might a be problem if the factory fenders can only be rolled and pulled so far. Over fender, do they require cutting and if so how much does that usually cost. or could i just get wider after market fenders?
