I just got a set of Stance LX+'s for my S14 and they ride really sweet. I am having an issue with them not enabling me enough adjustment to correct the negative camber in the front though.

Don't buy used coilovers. Shell out the dough for something nice. You get what you pay for.

again for daily?..7k/5k spring rates are your answer son. dont believe the hype. sample of these coilovers? STANCE LX, APEXI S1 , tein flex (i think theyre 7k/7k rates not sure) and that new Megan pink coilovers ...oh and BC racing that lets you customize spring rates to your taste.

I ordered a set of BC-BR coils with 8/6 springs. They sold the strut insert incase I needed to rebuild and different spring rates.

I also ordered a set of Yamato Garage suspension arms.

I will be doing a write-up for all the stuff I got so stay tuned.

according to my research, youre probably best off making your own coilovers with the koni/ground control combination. might i suggest searching & reading up on that. i currently have megan streets & very much regret cheaping out 3/4 years just so that i could slap some coilovers on my car. pbms, ive read, are too stiff for street even @ the softest setting. you shouldve read up and searched for different things. did you try 'comfortable coilovers' that came up with some good reading. theres debate by many about the majority of japanese coilover's valving being 'shitty' in regards to daily comfort.

I haven't ridden in another car with coilovers, but my Fortune Auto coilovers are really comfortable. I'm running a 7k/6k spring combo.
They are slightly less harsh than my previous lowering spring + KYB shock combo, probably because my lowering springs were progressive and those sucked on the harsh bumps.

my BC Racing BR types are going on my zenki this week at Zerolift. I will let you know my impressions as soon as I get the car back and get a little test runs finished.
