new s14

Hey everyone just picked up a 95 s14 and looking to start working on it. I'm new to imports but not new to cars been working on cars my whole life but by no means am I master mechanic or anything. Anyways picked up this s14 needs a little work but im really excited to start working on it. Right now car has megan racing springs, full exhaust, j30 brakes and differential 5 lug, aem cai, short throw shifter.. i think thats about it. I know it needs a new ps pump and some suspension/brake work. Just picked up drilled/slotted rotors for all 4 corners and new brake pads and hopefully will be putting them on this weekend and hopefully can get a used ps pump for cheap. I really want to focus on the suspension first i was wondering if anyone knows of any company that sells a full suspension kit i want all new adjustable contral arms toe arms tension rods trac rods all the goodies hoping to find it in a kit if possible. Also plan on going through and replacing all the old bushings and all with new poly bushings. Plan on going coilovers after i get the rest of the suspension squared away really leaning towards tien's hear nothing but good things about them. Currently the car is on 19s plan on going with 17x9 +12 235/45-17 up front and 17x9.5 +12 245/40-17 out back, may play with tire size but i have those tires already so might as well use them. If anyone knows any good websites to buy aftermarket parts id appreciate the help, again new to the import scene. Anyways just wanted to see your opinions on my plans and any input/advice would be appreciated this is my first time building an import of my own, i just want to have a clean nice driver and may eventually try my hand at sliding around some. Thanks in advance for the help.

All sounds good. definitely check out FRSport.com - Aftermarket Performance Parts they have great pricing on some really good products. There are even some kits there too. You can look into Cusco/PBM/Megan/Kazama for some kits, there are more out there those are just off the top of my head.

Another good site for OEM Replacement parts that I frequent is www.rockauto.com

There is also www.enjukuracing.com for some other aftermarket options.

I wouldn't waste money on Teins, unless maybe you want flex's. Those are the only decent ones I've experienced, but you could get kw v3's for about the same price.
Also I would shy away from poly bushings anywhere that requires them to move unless you want to install zerk fittings and grease them about once a month.
