I upgraded to Fortune Auto 500s with upgraded 11kg/10kg Swift springs on my S14 with an RB25.

^ wat the you have RB now ray? intense...

[OBEEWON]

When I went from SR to RB I didn't change my suspension and the car felt marginally different. It was a drift car.

Had it for about 2 yrs, installed a old school Trust turbo kit on it a year ago and is putting down 420whp.

I changed my suspension cuz the car felt so damn nose heavy. My old ass Topline Aragostas couldnt keep up with the extra weight up front.

[MrMigs]

All you have to do is take that oil container out of your trunk ha ha ha

[fliprayzin240sx]

LoL, I swear to God I forgot that I had it in there...

I have Stance GR+'s on my RB25 S14, its the wifes daily but feels great as a DD. havent had a chance to track it yet but probably need to tweak it a little.

My car will mainly be a daily driver with a few track days here and there. About to start ordering parts and I figured I'd go ahead do and my suspension. Sold my s13 for suspension money lol. So I'm guessing stiffer up front to compensate for the extra weight? Adjustable dampening a huge plus...or its fine to go with whatever rate?

[MrMigs]

hahaha repped :keke:

[l adam l]

so i'm guessing i should at least get a 10kg spring rate up front? or would 8kg be okay?
i never messed with the adjustments on my last one.


you guys that already replied, how much did you spend on yours and where did you get them from?


anyone running the apex'i, d2, ksports?

[Sileighty_85]

My Stances are 8K/6K feels good for DD and spirited driving. Not sure on track though.

I may go with them. What other suspension components you have? Your car looks pretty much how I want mine to look...sexy lol

[Sileighty_85]

Just coil over and adjustable control arms set

Does not having front sway bars make the car feel less nose heavy on turns? I was told that if I take the front bars out, car will have less understeer with the added weight.

How are s14's vs s13's handling wise? considering the s14 is noticeably a bit bigger than the 13, but, I have Fortune Auto 500's in my Rb25 S13 hatch and it handles and rides beautifully. I have the standard 8k/10k springs FA sends with them.

Speaking of, how is the understeer?

Can't say for sure you'll have the same experience as I did, but I experimented with removing the front swaybar on my car and the answer is like a yes and no...

The front has more grip and the rear moves more, but the car feels more front-heavy because the outside front rolls a lot more and responds slower. Feels like all the weight is being moved to the outside front corner when you turn. At least, that's how I perceive it..

[rbs14kouki]

On my car when i had no swaybar !!! The car had to much body roll up front and it was rubbing all the time during hard turn

First coilovers were stance gr+pro 8k/6k

Corrected part of the problem with my Second set (pbm 10k/8k)

For daily fortunes with swift spring upgrade. If you call or contact fortune and tell them what car, engine and driving plans they can give you the best set. And USA company.

thanks, didn't know that, i'm kinda leaning towards the fa 500s now.

[turbos14]

Great guys over there. And most people think that they are better daily driveability them pbm or stance both in the same price range. If you want super stiff the pbm.

[AzS13hatch]

I have been leaning towards the FA's for a while now and you guys just made my decision solid. Thanks. BTW S13 1jz and the extra weight currently no sway bar is a killer.
