PRICE DROP!

PRICE DROP!
PRICE DROP!

With the shift in chassis (S13 -> S14), I've decided to sell my most prized part. Anyone who has read the numerous posts on Zilvia about coilovers knows that this suspension setup is among the very best ~ spoken about in the same breath as Zeal/etc.

From Tanabe-usa.com...
The Slide Valve of the SUSTEC PRO SEVEN allows a massive range of Actual Dampening Force (http://www.tanabe-usa.com/coilovers/SEVEN.asp#shockdyno), meaning each dampener setting greatly changes the personality and handling of the vehicle. Competitor dampeners have a much smaller range of actual dampening force due to limitations of their internal valving design, resulting in unnecessarily large amount of settings within a tiny actual dampening range-- the settings may in reality have little impact on the actual handling dynamics of the vehicle. This results in many suspension kits that are severely limited to one type of driving or motorsport.
Each of SUSTEC PRO SEVEN’S dampener settings have impact and purpose, they are designed purely for function to conquer all types of driving. SEVEN lets the automotive enthusiast enjoy every form of driving sports.

Yeah. The best range of adjustment, period. Search my posts for coilover threads and read up on what everyone else has to say - it's all praise. To those looking to absolutely slam their s13s, they go EXTREMELY low... The ride height in my sig pic is mid-adjustment on the front and pretty high on the back.

You can also get the TEAS for real-time damping adjustment based on speed... it's a couple hundred extra bucks, I never bought it. Check it out @ http://www.tanabe-usa.com/coilovers/teas.asp.

Mine are the 10k/8k non-"hard driving" edition. Comes complete with all adjusters, manual, etc. They've been daily driven on for less than one oil change (I'd guess 2000mi), never been to the track, never hit anything, etc. I'd say they rate 9.5/10. Definitely still baller.

Bought these new for almost $2k, lowest they go for is around $1850. I would prefer local pickup, and an exchange for stock suspension to throw on my s13 to sell.

I'm also throwing in my front and rear strut tower braces. You'll want those.
EDIT: Johnnie Fraz Tension Rod brace sold separately, sorry. Price lowered accordingly.

$1400+your stock suspension, picked up, and I'll give ya the suspension extras. $1500 and I'll include brand new Footwerks Tension Rods also. PM for other options - if need be, I'll ship at your expense (and find my own stock springs/struts).

Not particularly rushed to sell, but if you feel you can't sleep without lowballing me, my PM box is open. I'll post anything I find hilarious, though, and we'll all laugh about how not-baller you are.

I can't believe these are still for sale.

Badass adjustable suspension that will stand the test of time and trial.

I rode along with him when it was on his car and it felt solid and great.

Mad vouch for the seller and your getting a great product at a great price.

No doubt.

I have these on my S14....super nice coilovers, they are very solid...even holding them you can tell how well they are built and yes they go LOOOOW i messed up and dropped my rears all the way by accident and my exaust was sitting on the ground....worth every penny tho and I can wait to install my TEAS...someone buy these

Thanks for chiming in guys ~ I know eastcoastS14 has been in every thread I've seen raving about these also :)

I'm getting offers for just my suspension addons, so if someone wants just the coilovers, I can probably work that out - I really would like to find someone local with some Xmas cash who wants to totally change his/her world, and get all of my suspension pieces for a truly kick-ass bolt-in setup.

rough idea for shipping to 17562?

Depends what you want to do, if you're offering your stock stuff also, I could prob pay my share/you pay yours and do that. I'm pretty sure shipping's around $50 to go across country for a set of coilovers. PM me with your current setup/what you're trying to do and we'll see if we can work something out.

Preference still goes to local pickup - I'd like to actually see these on someone's car in the future, I'm that attached to them.

Johnnie Fraz tension rod brace pending sale separately, price adjusted. Coilovers (along with front and rear strut tower bars) are still available.

I have offers for stock suspension coming in, so don't be shy if you don't have any stock stuff for trade; just shoot me a PM.

Best. Coilovers. EVAAAAAAAAR!!!

Period.

Only buy these if you want to make the ladies wet with your ballerness. If you dont want to do that, well, then you are sad.

Wow I haven't checked this thread because my stream of PM's has stopped... but thanks Dook. Megans + $1k is getting there... $600 is a bit short.

I will eventually sell the chassis, otherwise I would most definitely keep these. The only offers I'd be interested in are cheap coils (for ride height adjustment) plus almost all the cash, or stock stuff in whatever condition (as posted above).

And thanks for the references, guys... I think most Zilvians understand the desire to be baller, and the resulting panty-dropper status of an item like Tanabe Seven coils on your otherwise bland S13 :)

Still for sale :bigok:

GSXRJJordan
01-20-2008, 07:22 PM
Bump bump in my trunk trunk. Still have the coils, and no one that's offered to buy the car outright wants to pay for em. Throw me some offers, I know there are people out there that understand the difference between $1000 cheap coils and $1400 for top-notch coils.

WOW, if you had these for sale a month ago they would be mine. but i bought some new GR+ Pro's instead

^^^I put em up on the 2nd... lol. Sell the Stance's if they're still brand new, and buy these! The difference in price can't be that much ~

i bought mine the day after christmas :(

thats just a lot of work since i'm at school without my car, i dont have suspension to put it on in the meantime. plus if people dont have money for your shit, their not gonna have it for mine either LOL.

thanks for the offer though, good luck with your sale!

Dude you just want TOO MUCH for them! I could get brand new TEIN mono-flexes for that price with my hook-up and without it it would only be a couple hundred bucks more. If you really want em gone you need to lower your price.......significantly! Just my .02.

wtf:eek: the cheapest i could find these are $1,821.60 + shipping. how much more of a loss should he take if they are brand new?

... I'm sure they're nice and if I had that kinda cash laying around I would seriously consider buying them ... but that's the way it is round here.

I understand, you're broke too and dreaming of potential suspension setups, and don't see this as the best one. What I'm here to tell you is, it's unequivocally among the best "off the shelf" coilover setups on the market. This is a fantastic price on an "almost new" set of "top shelf" coilovers.

trade you some ZEALs for them ;)

No man, I need the moniezzzzz lol. No more S13 stuff for me.

depression lol no, possible recession yes. If we where in a depression you would be selling your car for food.

Srsly. Gotta eat = coilovers gotta go.

Thanks for the link! The only pricing I'd seen on em was from Logan and some place in NorCal, and they were about the same. Save yoself some cash, fool! Buy "pre-owned"! :keke:

trades for rims?

I'd consider it, but they'd have to be sweet 17"/18"+ with nice (Zilvia approved) fitment for the S14. Then I'd have to go 5lug on it. But yeah, shoot me an offer on what you got, and if I haven't gotten cash for the coils yet I'll take a look-see.

Please people. Stop shitting in other people's FS threads.

Thanks Mel, hopefully this'll get cleaned up (and the coilovers sold) soon!

not to shit in your thread along with everyone else, but you can get these shipped brand new from phase2 for like 1658, just a little heads up. so 1400 aint to bad, hell if i had 1400 i'd buy em off you.

Asking price started at $1550 with Johnny Fraz Tension Rod brace and Front/Rear strut tower bars included... I've sold the brace separately and lowered the price - I'll still include the strut tower bars for the asking price (or make me an offer).

Dude I totally would do the rim swap, paint em alpine white/rainbow flake, and go 5 lug... but I'm moving and need the cash :( Taking an offer for Megans + cash, and selling the s13 with the Megans.

If the Megan guy doesn't roll through, I'm gonna take those rims though, and just hate my credit card bill for a while.

I already told Apex that if he could roll through with his Megans and cash, I'd sell them to him, so as he's down for that, that's what's gonna happen.

If anything happens, I'll let BR and one80sxdet know.
