lowering springs

[93nismo]

im lookin to drop my s13 a little. i dont have enough for coilovers so i figured lowering springs were the way to go? i want the look but im more interested in a bit less body roll... any sugestions? or should i just wait a while and get the coilovers? it would take a while to work up the fund for the coilovers tho..

good idea? any specific things i should look for?

thanks in advance


its a 93 hatch if that matters

Save for the coilovers. Start checking the For Sale section of this board too. Might get yourself a pretty good deal.

[93nismo]

ok, how do i know if there still good tho?

[slidewaysmn]

The listing should tell the condition...there is no true way to tell though. Also take a look on ebay, there are some good finds.

[93nismo]

awsome. thanks guys

yeah that's the only thing with buying used, if they don't have any rep its just a game of chance =/

[93nismo]

haha i figured. expensive things should not be left to chance o.O

theres tons of springs on ebay. just find a few in your price range and do a little bit of research

[JayDee M Rolly]

I would check ebay often. There are tons of good deals on there I bought my tein type HE coilovers on ebay for $380.

eliminate a lot of your body roll by switching to larger diameter sway bars. those will help ur body roll woes

I would just save for a good pair of coilovers bro. do it once do it right.

thats what i was planning, but just for the temp ive got the money for the springs. and i could always resell em on ebay or whatever right?

i dont really think im comfortable buying used coilovers from someone i dont know... to much money

how much do some decent new coilovers run for?

[deukalionS14]

I bought Stance GR+ for around 1000 i cant remember the exact amount right now

[93nismo]

they go for much more then i have :P

[lflkajfj12123]

you could just cut your springs :)

[93nismo]

or heat em

best advice is to save up for coilovers...you'll probably end up getting them later. why spend more money upgrading from stock springs > drop springs > coilovers.

[nightshiftgarage]

in my experience i wasnt able to sell my springs for a much.pretty much had to give them away. i would save for coilovers for sure. upgrading sway bars would be ok. if you are just after the look, cut your springs. im sure some will tell you not to do it

[93nismo]

im just gunna save for the coils probly. i unno i think i need a new trans mount or something so i guess i should concentrate on that for now lol
