Your opinion: best s13 suspension?
looking to get some more suspension parts. im not just talking coils and shocks but everything to do with suspension. Control arms, tension rods, sway bars, LCA's, rear control arms, the whole shi-bang! coils and shocks too....

In my opinion if I had a car just to roll around in and look good herra frush or whatever, i'd just go cheap everywhere. ISIS / Megan / Circuit sports /
If I wanted good suspension for track day or even semi track day use I'd go SPL and build my own set of coilovers. Anything else i'd consider in between. |

if you want budget coils then look into
Fortune Auto PBM Stance all heavily marketed in the US and all of which also produce their own suspension arms /thread

yeah im daily driving the car right now, until i get my other car down to texas. im still kinda in-between places. im rocking some Tein Super Drift right now, but i need to have the sent back to Tein to be rebuilt, but i need to get front suspension and rear suspension like LCA's, sway bar's, tension rods, all that. obviously when i feel i need them ill spend some $$ and get the Driftworks Knuckles. Ive never heard of SPL ill have to check into them.

damn, where you been dousan?! you recommend the z32 uprights? i know they're lighter and i've read some of the grip guys swearing by them, but i've also read about binding issues with the shock mounts. i think a few guys have gone back to stock s14 uprights because fixing the issue was too much of a hassle. would you still recommend the uprights for a daily car? worth the time and effort to get them fitting properly? apparently they make a HUGE difference, but i just don't feel like cutting, clocking, and welding the uprights to fix the issue :P

The new Megan stuff REALLY isn't bad, their new stuff is actually pretty legit.
No need to go through the bullshit "made in the same factories" argument, but if you need something that'll WORK and be AFFORDABLE, go megan. |

Don't regret this later, save your money just a little longer and go full Powered by Max or just PBM coils and SPL arms. You want your suspension to actually ride nice, not bounce and squeak all over the place.

Zeal Endless/Moton/Ohlins Coilovers with Swift springs (As much as I love Stance I wont sit here and say they're the best.. not even close)
Ikea/SPL arms (No Battle Version/PBM/Megan/Yamato crap) none other come close. S14 LCA boxed and dimple die'd (Nothing better than OEM quality reinforced for strength) S14 OEM RLCA with heim joints welded on Solid Subframe bushings S14 Subframe boxed ends and reinforced like this; While you're at it throw on some Project Mu 2 piece rotors and calipers. |

I've been around. Still lurking
Haven't heard of those issues I said spl because i believe in a comany that backs their product 100% They also have an upgrade program and are always open to suggestions and questions Quality is their number 1 priority and it shows Every spl product I've ran has been superb. And I'm a damn regular track guy (was and will be again shortly) Spl is the only suspension arm company is buy. And I've had a many types. Japanese arms have never impressed me at all. The heims are sub par and lifetime warranty/upgrades are non existant |

I bought a set of zeal super functions, best set of coilovers i've ever had the chance to play around with, sadly haven't been able to drive on them yet. and spl arms are gangster, pricey but you gotta pay to play.

Odd, SPL is one of the oldest/best companies making links for the s-chassis
they been around before the hype, before F&F, before D-1 and the bandwagon and from Texas to booth Quote:
agree except for the DG-5 coils not because they're aren't good (don't know, never ridden on them) but because there are better options that can be build and supported domestically Quote:
ground some material for clearance, replaced bushings with sphericals no issues my - bargain/entry level coils if you just want to hard park or don't care about your kidneys - koni yellows or germany/australia bilsteins with GC kit for a compromise between price and perfomance - NRR Koni 8600 special, KWs, AST 5000 series, Zeal Function for mid level. - AST duals, Ohlins, Moton for serious business. never buy coils you can't easily get rebuilt/revalved with a dyno plot provided. |

I'm so sick of the s-chassis community thinking megan, stance, etc. ride "GOOD" They make your car low and absorb some bumps, yes. There are WAAAAAAAY better options out there though that are PROPERLY valved to match springs rates. |
