Coilovers-which are the lowest of the low?

[sileighty83]

Hello ppl, I'm running Tein HE's and I want it tire tucking LOW... they just are not low enough as you can see.

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/824789622d.jpg

I've searched but have not had any real good testimonials on what are good reliable coilovers that will slam your ride "gangsta low". Any info would be great thanks all.

[I10cruiser]

megan and what everyone loves power by max ftw . .but if youre into tein tein flex can go low

[SleepR 240sx]

Stance go pretty low...valving on megans makes for a rougher ride...other than that what the first guy said.

[FusionR240sx]

that's as low as they go?!?!
that's sucks

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j220/FusionR300zx/240sx/aric2pi0.png

tucking 255's on a 10.5j

i've got another inch prolly in adjustments i can make on mine i believe...

stance gr+

[HS13KLS]

STANCE!!

GET STANCE IF YOU WANT A GOOD RIDE, AND A LOW ASS CAR. you cant beat that

and fusions car is low as shit.

good quality.

stance ftw

[LongGrain]

heres another one for STANCE

[spikNspan]

my superdrifts go pretty low, but I'm still on stockers...

[sileighty83]

Fusion, I like dat hight but i'd have to say good bye to my front end lol good looking out everyone. Are stances good for drifting or just street/ time attack etc. cause i'd use my car for drifting and daily?

[LongGrain]

they are great for drifting..

[Fries]

Stance makes overall good quality coilovers for what you pay.

I would definitely go with them. I've had experience with Powered By Max, they also will do what you want [SLAM] but many people complain about the ride quality [although its not bad imo]

[sileighty83]

Nice great Stance it is then thank you everyone. p.s. Fries avatar is freaking me out haha

[silviachik420]

KEI OFFICE I can go supper low like 1/4 inch off the floor and still not scrap shit

[bejota180sx]

d*star has some low coilovers... d-drug or whatever u call them? or dmax? now i cant remember... he used to be really low on his 15 wheels

[ilia]

^Edgar was on STANCE on that car... so is most of the midwest.

Stances go really really low, and ride awesome.

[LongGrain]

yea, stance is like a midwest trademark. 90% of the cars at the events are on stance.

i'm still kicking myself for selling my ZEALS, i want to find out who has them and get them back.

[s13silvia123]

like what LongGrain said most of us in the midwest is on stance.

[silviaguy240]

yea stance, im pretty sure if you wanted too you could put the frame on the ground with smaller wheels.

[thatnismoguy]

stance, and if letting the frame rails kiss the ground just does not suffice for you, pull the collars and let the rape begin.

[JVDSKYRINE]

Teins are garbage I had some flex's and they are monster truck coilovers...I had to do lots of work to tuck tires on 18's

My silk roads are pimp I have infinite amount of slammage. And they have a good ride you can findem brand new in japan for comparable price of stance... But with everyone hyping stance I would kind of like to try a car with them.

[blksylv]

i have megans and im tucking tire on 17s right now but if i had to buy another set id recommend stances

[drift Kid]

i have tein super streets and they dont go low for nothing.. im looking for some super gangsta low coilovers too.. so dont go with tein ss..

[ej2civic]

I have tien flex coils and the front can go super low but the rear I have modified the bottom to fit my 300zx uprights and im not sure how that effects how low the rear can go but i have them all the way down and the sit almost flush, wish the rears went alittle lower.

[nismo racer]

im riding on stance, they slam real low, so low i was scraping exhaust and tranny aaaah fun day. they ride real nice too, hit up andrew wong at 240sx motoring, he hooked me up real nice when i got mine.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

I know PoweredByMax can flip the bracket to make them lower, but I'm sure you can do that with others, too. I know by experience that PBM goes fucking low.

[EDacIouSX]

yea i got stance. i can put my car on the floor.. literally im not joking

[BlckBeautyVTEC]

Powered By Max

[wynnEZ]

Does anyone know whats up with PBM. Ive sent them several emails about ordering a kit from them and im not receiving any emails back?

[renegade_ewok]

Considering the amount of space I have left on my threads, I am pretty sure my JIC FLTA1s could essentially bottom the car out sitting still without too much fuss...

Any reputable coilover with a lot of threads should be able to slam you...

[I10cruiser]

theres fires in sd right now

[spikNspan]

why don't you actually go read up on specs for the coilovers instead of just listening to a bunch of people tell you stance because someone told them it was good or they read about it on here?

[Sileighty_85]

why don't you actually go read up on specs for the coilovers instead of just listening to a bunch of people tell you stance because someone told them it was good or they read about it on here?

well majority of ppls replys are ppl who own Stances
I personally own Stance GR+Pro's and love them, and ride great.

Its better to listen to other ppl reveiws then just the company that makes them,

I could shit in a box and tell you they are the best coils on the market that doesnt make it true Im just trying to sell my product, So Id tell you anything you want hear to sell them.

So it better to have first hand reviews

What the hell is wrong with the way it sits in the above pic? It looks perfect! I just don't get how any lower than that would make it look better, it sure won't make it handle better!

[firelizard]

Nobody mentioned KTS right?

I seem to recall AyumiAddict saying that's what he had when I asked, and his car is looooow.

although i'm on some 15's...lol. stance. great ride. can go super low. got my the frame about 2" from the ground and still had a lot of adjustment left.

Thank you to those with Positive responses I'll take it into great consideration. Sileighty_85 I totally agree with your quote.

Truth be told I used to work in the import industry and those who know me and who I've done business with will tell you, I wouldn't just sell you crapy goods and hype them up just to make some easy money. I go out of my way to make sure exrything is perfect.
I know what works and what is good from other ppls reviews as well as my own.

i still vouch for stance, sooo low the freeway chomped my piggy lip and ontop of that they arnet that expensive.

[mikez97]

where would i find some stance gr+ for an s14

[yokotas13]

see, you guys are looking at it all the wrong way

ANY coilover can go as low as another, just buy shorter springs guys.

i had a 100mm spring in the front of my stagea to get it lower, yeah you sacrifice travel, but wtf, we are trying to be low.

you shouldnt be worried about which coilover is the lowest, but which coilover will perform the best at that height.

[Slip&Sliden 240]

KTS here. Had JIC's will never own another set. Rear strut towers are raised 2" so I can still preload the rear springs.

[A Spec Products]

Running super low kinda gets old after a while

It's something I think you naturally progress to do

But then later you kinda get tired of being low and the issues that result

Especially if you track, its not like you can run slammed since it becomes impractical as you run into rubbing issues, clearance issues, etc

But yeah yokotas13 is right, there's much easier ways of addressing going lower on coilovers

And also how low a coilover goes shouldn't be the FIRST priority when buying a coilover (ride quality? build quality? USA servicing? etc)

Main thing is try not to droop spring otherwise the shock will take the hurt

But swapping out coilover springs is probably the easiest way to do it right

[dorkidori_s13]

JIC FLT-A2/FLT-ARs FTMFW!!!

i dont understand the whole low thing...i had my car slammed for a while...and it was nothing but a hassle

logan hit the nail on the head...if youre buying suspension your first concerns should be on the quality, performance, ride quality and available servicing in america

but im not gonna knock anyone for what they want...i guess im personally more interested in make sure the coilovers actual work on the track correctly before being concerned with how low they go (and my brand new JIC FLT-ARs are worth EVERY penny i spent on them so far...JIC took a fukin awesome coilover and made it even better...which is a difficult thing to do given JICs are fukin awesome in the first place)

[2toneluv]

my vote is powered by max.. pbm ftw

[holaback]

Zilvia cracks me up. Every couple months a new coilover comes over stateside and suddenly the coilover they were jockin is old news and crap. JIC is the best, no wait tein is, no Silk road is the best, no way no stance is the best no way DG5 is the best!

Gee I wonder what coilovers nuts you are gonna be swining on next. Bandwagon within a bandwagon.

[truck boy]

Im running D-drug on my coupe and in the rear i still got another 4in before full slam, and in the front i still got another 2in before full slam...I daily it and it gives me a super nice ride....

True.

JIC FLT-A2's. Ride quality is awesome. All collars in tact.

True. Low, with the coils set up the way they're supposed to be.


Most will run into tire/fitment issues before they can put they're car on the ground. most good coils can go really low. Lower than you can go. On coils like PBM/JIC/Others, you wont have to remove collars, or flip the mounts.

for strictly example, im on JICs and about a half an inch from maxed with ALL COLLARS, Properly mounted hub mounts(?), and MINIMAL preload, standard JIC springs.
i think im pretty low.(not bragging or trying to prove shit.)
JIC's:::
http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll110/samaniego_ms/DSC04851.jpg


but thats on 17f/18r.

ANYWAY, ask this dude. he's fckin slammed as shit on outrageously sized wheels. (eliminated wheel rub and got everything out the way)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v195/imnotcreative72/Silvia/DSCN1367.jpg


but just a reminder, try the things that people have listed. (remove collars, flip mounts, increase preload, shorter springs) those are all cheaper than new coils, and should get you pretty damn low.

[Matej]

If my coilovers went really low I'd be mad, because I'd still be obsessive compulsive and take out all the extra collars and bottom them out, and then I'd have to get 20's or something.

[AznDrftr.]

^LMFAO.

and when you say remove collars, the little ring things right? how does that make the car go lower?

dont you need them so that they stay in and dont turn anymore or...

[murda-c]

http://www.theshop-sanbruno.com/img/products/stance.jpg

you see the two collars between the spring perch and the lower mount? you take those two out and bottom out the spring perch against the lower mount for another inch or so of lowering.

[miggypq21]

Sorry to thread jack but does anyone wanna explain what spring droop is and how it helps you go lower?

As far as coilovers go, I'm rocking Stance GR+ and can go way lower, lowered about 2 1/2 in. all around and got about 5 or 6 in. to with out removing collars. Ride quality and build quality is awesome imo.

[Forte EXE]

why don't you actually go read up on specs for the coilovers instead of just listening to a bunch of people tell you stance because someone told them it was good or they read about it on here?


wow, that has got to be the most ignorant post I've seen. The people who say Stance, probably, most likely, are using the coilovers. Reading specs wont do shit if you dont have first hand experiences.

[redclaw05]

i use silkroads and they get pretty low.

STANCE GR+ Pro. the bottom collar on the fronts was moved from on top of the spindle mount to under spindle mount, so it still locks. Still have one inch to go in the front. Rear has about an inch as well.

im outta that phase

I run stance gr+ pro's kinda low. I don't know what everyone is talking about, the ride is alright but the handling starts taking major hits and gets weirdness once you start going low. It drives like shit this low but whatever, it's just a DD.

[lazysk8er2]

not sure about or if anyone has said it maybe you can just swap out the springs?

you see the two collars between the spring perch and the lower mount? you take those two out and bottom out the spring perch against the lower mount for another inch or so of lowering.

ahh gotcha. but isnt that bad, because your using less spring? instead of most and it'll be bad on the strut

[MetricHotrods.com]

Call me a weirdo, but any coilover you get and slam that low is going to be beyond its limits of good performance.

so i would get the highest quality coil i could find. then install these:

drops your car, give an S chassis about 47 degrees of steering angle with steering rack spacers and lets your coilovers operate as if you had a 2 finger gap, when you are tucking tire.

outback doesnt matter, most coils usually have a couple inches to go in the rear.

Whats with all this tucking tire crap? You should be interested in what tucks rim.

Anyways whatever you decide to get, which there are tons of options, make sure the spring rate is kinda high. If you get really soft suspension u cant be too low cause it'll bottom out.

I run Part Shop Max coils, have for peobably a year and a half daily driving and probably 20 hard events, still work perfect and they do go really low.

[McRussellPants]

anyone try the ultra low KTS coils?

KTS Ultra Low will make your car immovable if you want it to.

Preload won't lower your car, it'll just reduce droop travel and rubbing from loading out the weaker part of the spring.

Remove Collars from the front
Buy a Shorter Spring.

Rear Has less options, but all these china garbage coils you are buying are valved the same so if they have a purchase shock option you can just get rear shocks that are shorter and move all your stuff over to them

Z32 front shocks hint hint.

I cut the bumpstops out of mine and droop about 1in 1.5in of spring in the back.

you'll feel it when you raise your car though, everything works better, for real.

[Brian]

I have no idea what it means to droop springs or cut bumpstops.

NOT A CLUE.

japan people: these dont pass JCI

Most quality coilovers nowdays have an adjustable lower mount on them. Meaning the spring and damper itself still function how they were designed. The only thing those knuckles have thats worth it is the steering angle mod. But do they also compensate for lowered cars with a lowered tie rod pickup point? That would be the selling point. Otherwise you would be better off buying Powered By Max's modded knuckles or even MA Motorsports version.

[ayuaddict]

besides the fact that your LCA, tension rod and tie rod are at more horizontal levels.

something about suspension geometry.

im kinda stupid but even i know that my LCAs pointing at the sky isnt good or performance and shit

I had the regular KTS coilovers and I recently swapped them for the ultra low version. What I like about them is you can get the z32 rear lower mounts if you ever get the z32 aluminium uprights.

Here are the fronts. Basically shorter Swift springs.

Here is the difference with the rears. The strut is much shorter because alot of coilovers struts bottom out in the rear cup leaving you to "sag" the spring in the rear to go lower.

This is the front installed with almost 2 inches left. The rear can go about 2 and a half inces lower.

Here is the car with that setup.

My D-Max are all the way down and the front cross member is about 1.75" off the ground with 15" spares with 60 or 70 series tires on them. Also there is an iron block LSx engine in the car also. I still have 4" to 5" of travel in the strut itself and could also run a shorter spring cause there is still about 2" of threads on the body above where the lower spring mount is.

part shop max, they are street style low down sexy style.

[bui]

[240ss]

stance made the front shock way to long. my dampening adjustments are just about touching my sway bar mounts haha

[xBlastoisex]

^ ya dude your low, but the way you put it looks like im going for pbm cause i wanna be that low just not deal with shit breaking or hitting.

Now that just looks too fucking beautiful.

To the guy who bumped the thread and the OP, I'm going for PBM with the optional short front spring so I can be able to frame the car.

[DataXUnknown]

As for being the lowest of low, I would have to say I've seen PBM go the lowest. But going the lowest and keeping a perfect quality coilover, KTS. Major +1 to KTS, these coilovers ride amazing for both street and track, and those new lower ones I without a doubt would get those over any other coilover. Best bang for your buck.

[stephen-knight]

I'm waiting on my Max coilovers right now and i'm super excited to see how they feel/look. I had Megan Tracks on my s13 and loved them, wen't pretty low and felt nice, and they're cheap. But from what i've heard Parts Shop Max is the best bang for your buck.

[s13_jesse]

just glad i could help. plus the fronts suck on stance as well.
they bind and shit. maybe just my batch.
also like 100-200 more dollars than pbm.
fuck that i say

[ayuaddict]

I had the regular KTS coilovers and I recently swapped them for the ultra low version.

Thanks for sharing your photos!

i had the regular KTS on my old S13 and i too got shorter springs for the front and cut the ball joint spacer to get as low as i could. I did run into the problem of the bottom of the strut hitting the sway bar endlinks however, although thats an easy fix. I am very excited to see how short the rear shocks are. I am definately getting KTS again when i do another S13.

.

I could shit in a box and tell you they are the best coils on the market that doesnt make it true Im just trying to sell my product, So Id tell you anything you want hear to sell them.

nice that is as close a quote to tommy boy as i have ever heard...but very true,:werd:

[ghudson]

I would post a pic of the jic's on my s13 i was supposed to receive from a member, but he obviously wanted my money without sending me the coilovers... :duh: I HATE people that can not deal in the right manner online.

[97240TB]

Zilvia cracks me up. Every couple months a new coilover comes over stateside and suddenly the coilover they were jockin is old news and crap. JIC is the best, no wait tein is, no Silk road is the best, no way no stance is the best no way DG5 is the best!

Gee I wonder what coilovers nuts you are gonna be swining on next. Bandwagon within a bandwagon.


Your post is full of stupid, He asked for personal opinions on Coilovers... People are chiming in with whats worked best for them.

Anyway... My STANCE SS-D's for my 97 are AMAZING, I'm running them with a conservative height right now but I have tons of room to go lower and the quality is amazing, Ride is a bit bumpy at low speed but highway still feels great. I say STANCE all the way.:bigok:

[Mel-O]

Old i know. But anyone running buddy club, meagan's, or fortune auto?

[recoy]

kei office FTW

^ I'll second that... My XT's go extremely low.
