WHUTTUP MY PEOPLE. Im over here stuck on wheather I should buy a new set of coilovers or shock\spring combo.

first off I drive a black 97 s14 that's currently sitting on z32 tt wheels 25 mm spacers slammed on cusco coilovers.Poblem is front coilovers are shot.
NOw that im in the market I want to know what I should buy. I loved the cusco coilovers they were great, only that I live in NYC and the roads are rough.
Basically what im looking for is a shock spring set up that offers atleast a 2inch drop and has a stiff but not rock hard stiff ride, im also looking for quality .

if i cant find a good shock spring set up I guess ill just buy another set of coilovers.

Thanks a million.

This will be the best shock/spring combo your going to find. Id just go with a decent coilover system with soft spring rates if your just driving it daily, depending on what your budget is.

If Koni/Eibachs is a little out of your budget, Tein + GR2's are fine. They don't offer a 2" drop but they ride just fine on rough roads.
