Alright so the dumbass I bought my car off of heated the springs and shrank em. So now Im needing some opinions on what springs I should put on my s13 240sx. Cant afford coilovers so dont even suggest them lol. Ive been looking into some Tiens but wanted to see what some other options are. Id like springs that can lower ride height decently but not sacrafice performance much.

Eibach sportlines are probably the best bet. You might want to look at aftermarket shocks aswell. OEM shocks will have a lower life if used with springs.

Coilovers.

Sportlines are terrible. Under hard cornering my car had so much body roll that the rocker panels scraped the ground and my front tire rubbed through the wiring harness. I have been having electrical problems ever since.
