well, i've only driven on them for about 15 miles, but i can't stop smiling

front - full 2 inches
rear- closer to 1.5

when i lowered her off of the stands, she was as she should have looked from the factory

i'll update on the ide shortly, but thus far, it's firm but not to harsh - feels great :D :D

im trying to get pics today (the 8th) and i'll post them asap.... i got them at a local shop in orlando, fl for $165. i think the drop is perfect if i were to have some wheels... to bad i bought the car with some fifteen inch chromies =\...

but as far as the install it was acutally fairly easy

for the front-
1. take the tire off
2. remove the two lower bolts holding the shock from the bottom (you might also want to remove the brake line from the shock)
3. remove the three bolts from the top located in the engine bay
~after taking the shock out.... i didnt use spring compressors.. you might want to its just safer~
4. remove the bolt located at the top of the shock (if you have bad shocks it will keep spinning...use vise grips if needed..)
5. the springs should just drop right in (they did for me)
6. and just do everything in reverse to get them back in

for the rear-
the only thing different about the rear is the three bolts holding the shock UP... they are located underneath the rear deck (where your speakers are IN the cabin of the car) the two bolts are the same (they are on the lower part of the shock) and you will have to take off the brake line again... the springs dropped right in for the back...

it was me and a friend so you might want to employ a friend to make it easier. we did it in about two hours. good tools to have around are a looonnnggg allen wrench (breaker bar) a full ratchet set and spring compressor or trash can (to shoot the spring in... thats what i did). good luck on your install. hope i helped you

well, i was thinking of buying the tein springs for my hatch. would you recomend em' over any other brand of springs. i'm going to match them with the KYG's... so i'm worried about clearance and camber of having FWD rims. thanks.

actually i got them from racing zone.... i had a friend give me a hook up... i'm guessing 165 is a good price...

hey ken what do you sell them for?

and nizmo240 i think they're great... i like the ride and if you get the s-tech's with the 1.3 front and the .9 in the back you shouldn't have to worry to much about clearance problems... i've got a r33 front and i barely ground out... on stock shocks (yeah im impatient). the car feels fine... i had a integra with a eibach's and the ride fills better with the tein's... i cant wait till i get me some kyb's

as for pics they wont be up for a while but im trying to get some...

We have them listed on our site for $169.99 for the S14 and $149.99 for the S13, but always give disounts to club members and fellow 240sx owners. I own 2 myself, so I gotta help out the 240sx guys.

From now on if you get a price from anywhere make sure you come to us and I will do my best to beat it and provide the best service.

Take it easy,

thats cool ken... i guess i will do that... i mean it dont hurt to check prices... besides i know you're a very good business man... and you got nothing but love for the 240's

i got a qutoe from rodney aka big pun (big spanish guy... honda owner) at s3 tunning down on semeron for a s13 motor installed for 2800... i've known him for a while and we've done a lot of business when i was a honda owner

i was wondering whats your usual price for a s13 sr swap into a s14

Ken, you didn't give me a discount on my n1 dual :( . plus, it came with a dent on one of the tips... but i'll blame that in shipping;) , but i love it!!! KEN is the MAN!!! i'd buy from enjuku any day. i'm about to order the KYG GR2's, and the Tein s-tech's. can i get a discount this time???:confused: p.s. i orderd through my best friends mom, due to the fact that my parents won't let me use their credit card on the net. well, i thank ken for having great prices and great service...shipped pretty quick. just a couple of days. THANK YOU KEN!
