Your best bet is e-mailing nismo-parts.com You won't find much info here or on any other board for that matter. Very few people own Nimso coilovers in the US, and to tell you the truth companies like Tein, HKS, Zeal, JIC, etc. make much better suspension setups.

I'll disagree with you on that. I'll have to wait til I get home to dig through my Nismo catalog. If I'm not mistaken, they are not damping adjustable, nor do they have pillowball mounts.

For an ancient car like the S13/14, they don't make crap. Look at the Nismo line for the R34 and it's enough to make you faint.

Nismo line for newer cars is pretty jaw dropping. Old cars like S13/14 are usually better off with other aftermarket brands.

Those spring rates are listed as S-Tune which are by definition coilovers, but not in the sense that most people consider. They are NOT height adjustable. They are also not damping adjustble. They are basically drop springs and tuned struts to match. Just another example of lack of technical support/details.

I was surprised since I've never seen R-Tune S13 suspension. Because it doesn't exist. Especially not for $700.
