hello everyone i have a 89 240sx manual transmission everything stock and im planning to get coilovers. my stock suspension are garbage. and want to replace them. So i did some research and i found these two coilovers that interest me: Spl Kts coilover and the Tanabe Sustec Pro SOC type II prices: Spl kts=$1100 US , Tanabe Sustec Pro SOC type II=$1000 canadianim from canada and if i buy spl kts i have to order it and if i get tanabe the auto shop is few blocks from my house. So im just want to know ur guys opions on which coilovers is best for my car. THANKS

If you can also get the tanabe's serviced by the autoshop or somewhere in teh area, i'd go w/ those.

I haven't had tanabe coilovers, but heard nothing but good things about them.

I have KTS, love it. Main reasons for choosing KTS for me:

1) z32 rear brackets2) New dampers/rebuild service with minimal downtime - $5503) Solid & affordable

Simply the cheapest option that has also been track proven... for you it may be a lil more complicated for reason 2 since you have to deal w/ shipping to Canada, but should still be good depending on what the shop local to you can offer.

SPL > Tanabe S0-Cs

Tanabe is stupid about replacing shocks... they don't sell inserts you have to buy a whole new coilover.
