Stay away from ebay if you want quality

There is nothing wrong with Ebay if you know what to look for. I'd say stay away from generic parts (no name or unknown company name) and knock off parts, but people do sell authentic stuff on Ebay to. I know i have.

I got my Tomei short shifter, Tomei 3 point brace, Agency Power clutch line, Bride seat rail and so on. All from Ebay and all authentic. The Tomei stuff was used, but that was clearly stated in the auction.

If you see something on Ebay that's advertised as a new part from a known good company and it lists for hundreds less than new, it's most likely a poorly made knockoff (although sometimes they are well made knockoffs).

As for suspension parts, if you're car has some years on the clock, i'd say first and foremost, replace the bushings with the Energy Suspension kit. Noltec makes a nice set of diff bushings for the S14. Look under the car and replace anything that looks tired and weak.

As for strut tower braces, the Circuit Sports are good, but so are many others. I'd stay away from that one in your pics that has a 90 degree bend on the mount (third pic from the top). Looks like it would give like butter. Also stay away from any 3 point front braces unless you're willing to relocate your clutch and brake hard lines. They work fine on JDM S13 and S14 but USDM has the lines running across the third mounting point.

Other than that, we'd need to know your goals with the car in order to say what has priority. Do you want to adjust caster, rear camber, rear toe? What are you trying to do?

Hold off on the strut bars, dont waste the money on rear lower braces and take a step back there Killer. More than half the cars on the road with all these things have no use for them whatsoever. Get some good rucas, a good pair of toe links for the rear, t/c rods for the front, replace as many bushings with urethane or heim joints, and then depending on driving start looking at sway bars. If you must, DC Sports and Tein have well priced sturdy strut bars. Somewhere in there get an alignment.

well i want my car to be a daily driver and week end drifter,but i want to drift as much as i can with it,im planning on buying a kit from bings.ca 625$ cdn w s/h ruca/toe/traction/

I know i have to get need tie rods,but i want to buy tension rods and offcourse a nismo brace,i know i need some strut bar(i might as well put a c-pillar too),and i heard sway bars helps a lot ,and makes the strut bar work well,new bushing always been one of my top priorities,even if there not all worn out i want to change them all,my car has like 191 000 km (about 119 miles),i want to put new subframe bushing and them some collar,but is the aluminum diff bushing good???

for the front strut bars i know the 1st and 2nd strut design is good ,for the rear you told me to forget the one wit the 90 degree bend so forget the rear strut bar that goes in the trunk ,so that leaves me the carbing one (1st picture,and the sixth picture the ebay one ,i now there not a lot of different design for the rear strut.

now sway bars wich one is recomended(wich tickness is ok)
