LOl if money isnt an issue then go look at Stance GR+ 3 way coilovers. I have HKS hypermax III's and i love them. New they cost me about $2500 but worth every penny.

here are some links to Nissanparts.cc (this is an actual nissan dealerships website so all parts are shipped to you by Nissan)

Definately go with the SPL brand arms and linkage: http://www.nissanparts.cc/catalog/?section=1370

KW coilovers are my choice. $3000 for a set of club sports, but they are so well set up and engineered, you will have trouble finding better if you have the coin.

If money is not an issue, KW without a doubt.

ok cool so its going to be a smooth ride right because i bought so tein coilovers for my gsx and drove them for mabey 2 weeks and had to take them off because the bounce felt like a honda with cut springs so yea reason why i say money not being an object is because if it takes 3 months or 3 years i want me and my sons built right so no knock offs or 2nd best going in this ride it all about the details and thanks for the extra sites for swaybars ect.. you guys are beasts.

so how long did anyone wait on there swap harnesses because im pretty sure im ganna get one. oh and 1 last thing(sorry) um s15's 6speed trans i take it that that wont bolt up to a s13's sr20 engine because i have the redtop sr20 and ive just kept it for a while but if it wont bolt up then ill sell this tword the s15 engine cause im getting a hell of a deal a s15 trans with a grind in second for 400 bucks from a friend so i figure a rebuild for 2-300 bucks and i got one hell of a trans :woot:
