what kind of shocks do those rally drivers use, like the rally-coss ones... and where can you get them... i want to launch my 240 in the air 8 feet and land without bouncing...?

If you sell your car and put some cash in on the side you might be able to pay for that grade of suspension.

Drummond Motor Sports out of Australia makes rally suspension and they have an application for the S13 and S14. Expect to pay $3500 for an entry-level system and up to and exceeding $5000 for a set of 60mm adjustable Super Struts. And this is just for the struts and springs; you will also need strengthened suspension members and control arms, another $10k or so. These set-ups aren't for the "JdM pHat TuNeR ShiZnIt yO!" type of people, you are most likely going to need a budget only a sponsor can provide for all the things you will break.

I'd love to make a 240sx / 200sx / Silvia. . S14 or S13 chassis into a rally car. . gawd I'd love to do that.. .I'm not talking apperance. . true, rally car. . non daily driven. . that'd be phat =)  I'd have to build a 95-96 240 with Abflug kit haha. . that'd be awesome. .

But uhh. .you can't just get shocks and expect to land without blowing your car apart. . rally cars come off the dealer lot in the beginning, but they're welded and re-welded and reinforced so much it probably wouldn't be practical on a daily driven car..
but we can dream hehe
