$1400 to spend... what coilovers?
 
I want to buy some coilovers with a max price of 1400... what would you buy, all things considering - US support, adjustability, etc. I don't claim to be a drifter or anything like that, but I would like my suspension setup to match my other mods a little better. Now I run eibach sportlines and Tokico shocks on my s14 and it does not feel stiff enough at all, nor is the lowering low enough.


Thanks, Ryan

P.S. please don't speculate based on what you hear, I want real facts from people who have used the product they endorse.

For under $1400, some people recomend KTS or Silkroad coilovers, but there others just recomend KTS.

projectRDM 06-20-2005 03:11 PM

Sil Beer S13 06-20-2005 03:46 PM

SpdElemts 06-20-2005 04:54 PM

enen11 06-20-2005 08:05 PM

get the silkroads off the group buys. 1400 shipped. i have nothing but great things to say about them. stiff when you need it to be, and soft when you want it to be. haven't heard/read anything bad about them

infinitexsound 06-20-2005 08:29 PM

thats because they're good.......

MakotoS13 06-20-2005 08:30 PM

you absolutely cannot beat KTS and the support they have. SPLparts takes care of you no matter what.

publicenemy137 06-20-2005 09:51 PM

spl kts coilovers, best for price + quality.

FaLKoN240 06-20-2005 10:00 PM

FRIKKEN GET KTS. (I know i would.)

Enter a local car meet:

Sick drifter: I've got Kei Office, ladies. . .

Ladies: We'll will immediately commence in having sex with you.

End scene.

Get the KTS, they're cheaper, and you can use the rest of the money to get other car stuffs. They have a good reputation, and they don't cost your arm, torso, and 3 of your less desirable toes.

MakotoS13 06-20-2005 10:05 PM

seriously... kuah is the MAN. i ain't kiddin. we go fishin on sundays.

note: we don't actually go fishing on sundays that was completely fictional but kuah is still the man.

Dousan_PG 06-20-2005 10:06 PM

id go with the KTS
actually i am on my Daily driver s13
i love splparts. they give me the good shit. :)

SimpleS14 06-20-2005 10:12 PM

KTS because I have them......

infinitexsound 06-20-2005 10:52 PM

kinda fish do they have in texas?

raen419 06-20-2005 10:52 PM

kts
slam your car
and you'll still have $$$ for ruca (which you will need...hahaha)

monkey7 06-21-2005 01:06 AM

I also say KTS, cause I got mine today. They look really sturdy, nice welds, adjustable for your needs, inverted mono tube design, shaft protector, brake line holder on the fronts, and most of all great service from kuah.

I have ridden in my friends car with KTS which made me a believer.

CKAMC 06-21-2005 08:14 AM

for 700 u can get some megans and use the extra 700 for somethin else... yeah i know where there are 700 dollar megans :)

my friend really wants some KeiOfice for his hatchi. I was going to get Tein Super Drift Damper Kit, but I ended up getting a used Tomei setup. Saved some money that i can use on the engine :D

Tein Super Drift's are brand new, literally new on the market. If you can talk the retailer into selling the kit cheap, you could probably get away with it.

Pudula 06-21-2005 12:07 PM

would 10k/8k spring rates be that bad? The damping on these is supposed to be a "new" system, so wouldn't that help?

Reason i say this: the Kei Office are on a month backorder... I really can't wait that long, my wheel gap in front is killing me.

PS: KTS - they may be really good, but they won't fit my "brand-whore" scheme like i would like.

Let's hear from the GR-6 people - if those are streetable, the Teins will be too.

mooboy 06-21-2005 12:28 PM

Any thoughts on the Tanabe DD Coilovers?

Ok I owned myself, i'll read the thread next time.

Andrew Bohan 06-21-2005 12:37 PM

lawrence, were you reading the thread at all?

SpdElemts 06-21-2005 12:57 PM

I don’t feel like making another thread so I am going to ask a quick question about my kts coils. When they mean 15way does it mean 15 clicks from the first click? Or 15clicks total? Because I have 16 clicks total. just wondering because its been bothering me for awhile
