I want to do my suspension pretty soon on my S13 and I was wondering what a good combo is?  I'm looking at the eibach sportlines and koni ajustables... What do you guys think?

i think you might be able to get tokico illumina's for the S13 (adjustables) i'd check on it if i were you

I'm doing my mods slowly, but suspension wise I think I'm gonna go with H&R springs plus Tokico Shocks.

to counter camppain's comment, i would suggest prokits, and i have pictures to prove that they do indeed lower the car

pro-kit + tokico = good?  how do tokico's compare to koni yellows? KYB GR2? etc... thanks!

I have H&R Springs and tokico blues butIf I could get an adjustable shock I would do so.  Also I would have gone with a bigger drop but the roads in ohio can be bad and didn't want to do damage.  I like how stiff the springs are though.

DSC, you said that the prokits have "issues" on the s13. What do you mean by that? I was about to order them cause they were the ones listed in the Nismo catalogue.

Camppain would be able to give you more detail on that than me since I drive an s14, but basically it just doesn't lower your front enough. it drops the back but not the front? Something like that...don't know details. There was a whole thread on it a while back, but its too broad of a topic to search for really.

I think camppain's was an extreme case where they didn't change ride height at all.  I didn't measure before and after, but visibly my front didn't drop more than an inch.  It's not too bad, but it does kinda bug me sometimes.  They make the car handle really good and still maintain alot of comfort...but they don't improve looks that much.  Honestly, I'll probably change them out whenever I can afford to.

And how about the SportLines? Does anyone know of any issues with the S13 and SportLines? Thanks!
