What online shops carry these for a '92 S13? I would preferthe stiffest available (DR21 Race)...but I could settle for a littleless if money is an issue.

I currently don't have any shocks planned, although I may justgo with KYB AGX (or Tokico Blue).

So anywho, who sells KG/MM springs? Preferablly someone whoalso ships to Canada.

I'm basically after the stiffest springs my money can buy. :)

tokico blue will no work with the stiff kg/mm springs, even the agx is only rated to 50% higher spring rates than stock...

you will have to adjust the AGX up pretty high to dampen those springs enough.

if you want really stiff springs, get a coilover setup, after you match the dampers to the springs you want(sayy..koni yellow, or KYB buzz specs) you'll be near coilover cost anyway.-chet

You should by the kg/mm DR21 SuperSport springs that I have for sale. $150. They came off of my 92 S13 coupe when I bought the Eibach's.

Exactly, else you end up with a bouncy suspension.

What would be a good recommended shock to use with thesesprings? I e-mailed KYB about the spring rates on their AGX butI haven't heard from them in a while.

I have gotten my eyes lately on JIC FLT-A1 which go for about$999USD (7/5 rate), height and damper adjustable, w/ pillowupper mounts.

kg/mm struts,kyb buzz spec struts or tokico ht's struts.all of these struts are short stroke and would be good for these springs but the buss spec and the ht's are not sold in the u.s and i dont know if the kg/mm struts are adjustable but you can get them from http://www.bulletproof automotive.com. also there are the gab super stroke struts and you can get them in the u.s. i have gab super hp struts and kg/mm dr21 super sport sport springs on the rear of my car and i love that setup, the struts are 8 way adjustable. i love the jic set up i would get thet if i could afford them.

I have, and I have thought over it but what's everyoen's takeon that product, beside the good pricing? I mean, is the productreliable, can I compare it in the same class as Tein, JIC, Zeal, etc?

This (coilovers) would be a big purchase, and I wouldn't wantto get something that I would regret later on.

The GP has this in one of the posts:If less than 30 orders are received by the 10th, only 30 sets of coilovers will be ordered. Any left over coilovers may be purchased after this deadline of a first come first serve basis and we may not include custom spring rates unless available

So I guess I may wait and see people's impression of these coilsand if they're worth it, and there are extra coils left over, I mayconsider them (7/5 rates).
