Not the cheapest but I got Tein Super Drifts on my S14, Its slammed but I can still go alot lower on my coilover.

2 Finger clearance on the frame rails. Thats how you roll. Still can't compare to whoever it was that couldn't run over a quarter.

I have D2s on my s13 and i cant even tuck tire with them slammed.

Had 18s with a 255-35 and was just above tire

i dont like them but they have held up great for over 2 yrs

That's what I got and shit is cherry for going low.

I just can't get up the energy to get off my ass and take off some of the front collars.

hows the ride on them? they seem like a good set

:l101:

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet or not, but KTS has newer versions: low, and ultra low for like $175-200 more. They offer a lower Swift spring set up and a smaller shock body for extra slammness

Does that put the price up there with Tein Flex/Super Drifts?

If so, still not worth it.

My KTS were cool as like, a learning set, or a first set of coilovers, but I would NEVER buy them again, when they got old, they sucked.

yeah... you're looking at around ~$1300 for the shorter dampers and springs.

More detail on why you wouldn't go back to KTS's? Like.. on the "sucking" part... leaky dampers or something?

love the stance on the gold coupe. looks good. i think my next set of coils is powered by max, hear a lot of good things about them.

well.. how dedicated are you? if ride quality is an issue then you should have rims larger than 15's lol but for the most part it's very firm...


btw that coupe isn't mine, its my friend tommy robberts drift competitor.

Naw I just had them for a while.

They were a good entry level coilover at the time, but people barely run them anymore because there are much better options out there for an entry level coil.

I would recommend Stance (GREAT prices for some used ones out there)

or

PBM (good customer service, and constant development on their products)

i have KTS.

had them on 3 S13s now.

i like them personally but i had a set of Tein Super Drifts that i wish i kept, felt SUPER nice.

anyhow.

this is on KTS modified with shorter tein springs and smaller pillowball spacer dealio.

Tein Flexes can go super low. Here is the front maxed with all the collars still in place. Take them out and you got about another 1.5-2 inches left. I was tired of adjusting the coils, so I only maxed the fronts and not the rears. The rears could still go lower though. I'd hit reflectors on the freeway when changing lanes and my oilpan actually hit one of the bigger reflectors on the streets. Scary shit, lol.

Raised it up to what IMO is perfect height but still decently low.

Flexes ride comfy as hell.

DON"T BUY K-SPORTS

I had some and hated them they were too bouncy and they were not designed very well. Like you couldn't keep the ajustment knobs in them and close the hood...WTF? ANd they just didn't feel right. Like the shocks were not valved right or something. They only have (I think) 7 and 9k springs but they felt as stiff as my friends megan track coilovers. Maybe I just got a bad pair bit thats my 2 cents.

O and they don't go low at all.

Just don't buy them end of story

I LOL'd so hard at the UCI thing humping the S13


Im getting ready to order up some Stance GR+ Pros...They can slammmmm.

They actually don't go that low without removing collars. This is them set to max low(which really isn't that low):

I've also owned a set of pbm coils. The pbm coils will go much lower.

Yea i have stance right now. I'm maxed out in the rear and drooping the spring 1" and it still isnt low enough for me. I'm thinking of selling them and getting some PBMs.

i dont know about the ride quality i have only riden in my car with ksports and megan's felt about the same, but as for lowness.... the k sports can go reallllly low like the other dude with 18's said you could put the frame on the floor if you wanted to i belive, but they do go plenty low

Yeah I gotta modify the front wells a bit so I can go lower. Rears I gotta raise like an inch, then get it setup so it can go back down again. I'm not even close to maxing them out and my ass is on the ground. The fronts got like 1 1/2 inches to ground and about still 2" left on the coils.

Tein for the sexy and quality low.

You cant be serious? Ive seen cars that are lower than that running Stance and the owners say they arent close to being maxxed...

WTF?

picture of your car at this height?

what wing is that?

go with powered by max.... there great and also affordable. 10-way adjustable, and you can feel the difference, no reason for 40-way... haha.. Plus they go super low.

id get powered by max, i hear the cool color adds like 4 hp too.. definatly

get powered by max, pbm, max coilovers, whatever u wanna call em. MANY MANY MANY people are amazed on how low they can go and finally they say "who the eff does this?" but they do it anyway cause gangsta rap made them do it.

Get MAX coilovers.

Shits so low that even on max ride height, it still looks low.

Mine are set so low that the ratchet I tie my car down with on my trailer can't fit under the front bumper/intercooler on the car.

The only thing with the PBM coils is they don't offer the z32 rear lower mounts for the z32 aluminium uprights on the s chassis coils.

i dont mean to bring up an old thread, but i cant find powerd by max coilovers ANYWHERE!
do they still make them?

Did you ask them if they made them?

duh....
