whats up people...i was just wondering what kind of suspension u guys have for your hatches? i just got a fat *** check from work and im just gonna go all out on suspension. My friend was telling me to get Tokico whites w/ Eibachs. All I want to do is drop about 1 1/2 inches-2inches. I have a 92 hatch and have about $500 to spend and I'm not going to drift so I'm not thinking about coilovers. Then comes LSD and clutch . Post pics of your car w/ aftermarket suspension so I can get an idea of what i should get. I would be happy if peeple w/ Enkei meshes to post pics because I just bought some.

Thanks guys...late

Tokico doesn't make the white adjustable Illuminas for the 240SX. They do, however, make the blue HP shocks. Tokico HP shocks and H&R Sport springs or Tein S-Techs might be nice in your price range. Remember to get some new dust boots if yours are worn/torn.

well i got Eibach Sportlines and KYB GR2's all around. WAAAAY big improvement over stock. car stays really flat during quick lane changes and same for when braking hard (nose doesn't dip). also clears speed bumps no problem and ride quality is just as good as stock with a little bit more feel for the road.

however one thing you'll notice is that after you lower your car, it still won't look as lowered as you would expect... there will still be considerable wheel gap and it might come as a dissapointment. i sure was, but a great improvement over stock monster truck height. only way you'll get a good lookin drop is with coilovers.

i have tein basic coilovers. they are actually cheaper thn you would expect, and if you look for slightly used ones you can expect to pay around $500. they are height adjustabkle which is really nice, but arent dampening adjustable which is pretty unneccesary for a street car.

thanks, but no its a custom color, it looks similar to the stock gray/gunmetal tho, bit darker.

hi, no photo, but rs*r race (supposedly. after looking at how freaking low my car is, i'm beginning to wonder; i'm assuming a coil has been cut or something) on ohlins shocks.

the car is freaking slammed.

which i like.
