Yeah, definatley use the money for the transmission swap, dont hold off on that one. so it was a toal of $1,000 for both? if there really good quality struts and springs, wouldnt that be better than one of the cheapest sets of coils out there?

i love my sport-lines. personally i like them better than my girls pro-kit. if you have a OE lip then i think the pro-kit is fine make it look as low as mine. i don't really have any clearance problems other than the extremely big speed bumps

since im not gonna track the car anyways for a while till i get new wheels so i dont mess up my tires for my daily wheels, im gonna get new speakers first since my fronts dont work and my rears sound like paper

after that i really want a VLSD because open diff is gay, and i gotta replace my outer tie rods anyways so im getting tein ones used

after that unless i decide to save up and get coils, then ill get a good strut spring combo
sounds good i got coil so i could drop it

Ive never heard of Moog in my life before, i wouldnt wanna put suspension parts on my car from a cheap brand.

i dont really care about the extra steering angle too much cause the 240 (or s14 atleast) has the tightest damn turning radius ive ever seen on a stock car

edit: ok i just looked up moog and they seem to just be OEM replacements. i opted not to have them replaced when my car was getting fixed, cause i knew i was gonna get some nice aftermarket ones anyways, so im gonna stick to that
wow man moog is what vovol and audi put on their cars, mood is good ish

Everytime I see got_chub posting in here, I pray to sweet baby Jesus on high in his manger in Heaven that Chub finally posted pics of his finished QX45 projector swap w/clear lenses and corners.

Chub, If you switch to Kouki front, plz finish that write-up first!

Wow you got screwed before the shipping dude. You can easily find them for around $850-$950 before shipping.

I'm a little late but, moogs are made in japan and they even have zerk fittings on the bottom unlike the OEM ones so you can grease them yourself, and they are stronger than our stock ones. The teins you mentioned don't sound bad, they are like 80 bucks new-food for thought.

LOL what the hell kinda frankenstein car is that? I've never seen a s13.4 zenki hatchback weird, but cool-like a late-model sileighty or something
