My AE86 had 8/6 suspension which was awesome. I would go that route for my future S13.

BTW, how is your car with 6/6? Most setups I've seen had stiffer front springs. Road courses definitely would be the best place to fully test your suspension. Hope you find time to take it to the track. ;)

in my opinion you should go with the AGX setup. you have no height adjustment with the setup but you gain damper adjustability.

basics are just a spring / shock combo coilover with a smaller diameter spring. i think their weakest point is the no damper adjustment ability.

haha i just noticed you bumped a thread from 2004. whoops!
