Coilovers on a fastback S13

[Big Body LX]

I was talking to a friend and he said that with the suspension on a 240 that if you drop it more than 2" it'll ride like shit.  This kind of makes me scared because I am getting a set of coilover sleeves that'll adjust the car 0-4" and I don't want it to ride too bad.  I used to have Arospeed coilovers on my 96 Accord and they rode rough.. but not too bad.

Im not a fan of the spring and strut combo. I would rather go wid a TRUE coilover that gives u better ride quality and also u can adjust ur setting to how stiff or soft u want it. I would preferrabley go wid zeal b-6 function, or cuscos comp 2 coilovers

I would look at the Tein Coilovers. Apparently they can drop up to 3" I believe. That's a pretty insane drop. I think any car is gonna drive a little shitty with it that low, just need some tight struts. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> Depends on what your tastes in ride are.

Do let me know what you ended up going with and pics! There is a guy with a olive green car in his signature, and it looks extremely cool. Nice drop on that, with the rims I wanted. Maybe he knows what they used.

2 " drop will not necessarily make the car ride like shit. it depends on the life of you stock struts. if your struts have plenty of life still in them it'll be alright, however you may have a camber problem. but with a camber kit and some after market short body struts your car should handle, perfrom and look very nice. i do however agree with everyone else witha full coilover setup, such as zeal b-6, tein, or jic, but with that knowledge in mind, u gotta do what u gotta do, if all u can afford right now is the coiloer sleeve on your stock strut, it'll be fine, don't buy arospeed or matrix, i hear groundcontrol makes a good set
