God I really need to make a how to with pics or a video of how to shake down and inspect your front end.
Go to some one with a good impact gun and gun down the giant top nut on all 4 coils. They may/will be loose, that will cause a lot of bad noises and obviously wear that is avoidable.
Also take it to a shop that does free inspections, there should be a reputable place around.
But its an s13, its probably due for at least one or two tie rods, or if its a really high mileage chassy it might need a ball joint or control arm bushing.
Also the other most common thing is not tightening the coilover collars all the way. Tighten them as much as you can, other wise they can loosen up over time and drop your car while you are driving.
PS I have god speeds on my s13. I had cuscos I picked up super cheap and they are nice, but they wore out. When my friend was about to sell his car we traded for his 400mile old godspeeds and I've put about 10K miles on them so far. They are great budget coils, as mine are super comfy for the daily drivers and are very adjustable.
But my next set of coils will be stance GR+'s, Buddy club racing specs or maybe DG-5s or ideally Racing Gears....
