Well I have almost had this car for a year now, and it's finally getting the way I want it to.

Recently I have added KTS coils and some Failmaxx 002 I love my KTS and would recommend them to anyone, but if your wanting to go low do not get the standard ones. Get the ones made to go low.

Next plans are probably pick out a new turbo, I'm thinking a GT30 or just a random t3/t4 set up, and shooting for 400hp.

Lol these had to go

Flame on.

yeah no flaming will be needed. you actually thought logical and got some decent suspension. i also have kts and love em. but they do not go as low as stance gr pro's. but i have mine about 3/4" taller than yours with 17's and my fitment is about the same. i love how predictable these coilovers are compared to the teins i used to have

Yea I had Ksports on my old Kouki and those were complete garbage. I have to admit I do love Stance. They go low and are very stiff, but I will stick with these KTS coils for awhile they are very nice and worth every penny.

Alright im not really knowledgable about suspension but is this what's called a collar ? & when they say when you remove it your can go lower & it won't affect the ride? ... anyways like the way its sitting

^You are correct^ If you look in the picture where you can see two of them. It used to have one more on each side. It lets you go alittle bit lower.

the suspension will not have less stroke causing it to feel a lil more tight. and, it does affect suspension geometry & will def give you more bumpsteer due to the severe angle of the tie rod caused by the steering rack being lower than the mount point on the knuckle. but yes it doesnt affect ride.

and op, you can go lower if you run no preload on the springs. it called "drooping the springs". i recently maxed out my low for a car meat called left coast low. i took out 1 collar up front and drooped all springs and it looked mean w/my 17's. oh and heres a vid of how low you can go with one collar out up front w/stance coilovers. this car has 1" of frame clearance, but looks uber low w/the W9 aerohttp://vimeo.com/7895938

+1 on KTS. My younger cousin had them in his 240sx. They have a great feel to them and settle so well after bumps.
