For</a> S14s, $730 for a set of Eibach Sportline Springs and Koni Adjustable Yellow Struts. Sounds good to me (though I still can't afford them). Has anyone seen a better deal or is this the best package out there?

That page also has Eibach Sportline with KYB AGX for $609 for the S13s.

I just bought Tokico blues from my local tuner shop for 299.99 including tax. &nbsp;Add $235 for Eibachs and thats $534.99. &nbsp;But U may want a different set up. &nbsp;Good Luck!

tokico blues are non-adjustable, so don't make a price comparison on that

KYB GR2's aren't adjustable either.
That sounds like a decent price, but I'm having some problems with Modacar right now...I ordered a shift knob from them two months ago and since then I've gotten the wrong knob TWICE. &nbsp;Still haven't gotten the one I ordered.:angry:

Thanks for the replies. What do you people have for shocks/struts on your S14s? And you know those Apexi coilovers that are $1000 and $2000? Are those prices for each or a set of four?

That seems like a decent price, but Modacar has a horrible reputation from all I've heard from. &nbsp;I know someone did a group buy on Konis recently for $500 + shipping (from SF, CA) and Eibachs go for about $200 - $225. &nbsp;

Honestly, I don't like the adjustments on Konis though (front is knob, but w/o marks/indicators... rear you have to remove!). &nbsp;For about $250 more you can get GABs or get some Tokkiko HTSs imported. &nbsp;Both way better shocks (also short stroke). &nbsp;

Other problem with that package is the springs, IMHO. &nbsp;I like Eibachs, but not the Sportlines - they are too soft for as low as they are. &nbsp;They take away too much shock travel w/o adding enough resistance to keep you from bottoming the suspension. &nbsp;Pro-Kits are a better choice, even if they are .5&quot; taller.

I'll be doing GABs + Pro-Kits or Kg/mms after the last snowfall.

When I get around to lowering I'm probably going to get tanabe springs. Its a 2&quot; drop front and rear, they are a lot stiffer than the eibach and are only $180. I haven't given struts much thought yet.

I have Eibach ProKits and KYB AGX Adjustables....nice combo I think. &nbsp;It's a noticeable but not impractical drop, you get ride adjustment, and overall it handles great.

I've heard a lot about KYB AGX adjustables but they don't seem to have that for the S14. &nbsp;In fact, I haven't heard of a choice of shocks/struts that people trust for the S14, &nbsp;like how people go with Injen for intake, Eibach for springs, Hotshot/Greddy for headers, etc. Konis apparently are hard to adjust, KYB doesn't have adjustables for S14, same with Tokico, except for Tokico HTS which I can't find for the S14. I'd prefer not ordering from Modacar anyway since it's in CA and so am I, which means I'd have to pay a lot of tax. I've heard GAB is good but don't know where to find some. And I see Tokico HTS at Jspec.com but they only have that for the S13. Can someone tell me where to look?
