the best suspension and other parts etc....

i need some suggestions on what either the best or one of the better brands are when it comes to suspension... gpsport looks pretty good, as well as apex'i and tein...

also... whats a good brand of Blow-off valves... i'm gonna buy a 240 soon (very soon) and the guy i'm buying it from says that for a little extra he'll put on an APC BOV... (the 240 has an sr20det blacktop btw) now would it be worth the extra cash over the stock one?

..APC BOV? I havent heard of that...if u want a good BOV chek into HKS, Greddy and Blitz. I think Apex'i might make sum too, but havent heard nething bought that. And for suspension look into Tein, GPsports, Apexi, JIC, Cusco..all i can remember

i heard that the gpsports coilovers were a little too stiff for daily driving. phase2 has some nice deals on JIC FLT-A2s. Zeals are also good too. If you want just springs, kg/mm is a good company.

From wut i heard, if u want a good drifting/daily driving coil overs get the Tein HA. They are hard enough for drifting but soft enough for Daily driving.

no i'm pretty sure he said APC... only well i'll just tell him not include it at all...

and the suspension he suggested he could get were tein ... he said H2s or something but i couldn't find that kind... so i'm just gonna take the thing as is and buy the suspension myself... as well as a new BOV if its gonna be needed...

If you just want some decent basic suspension for cheap, pick up some kyb agx struts and your choice of springs from enjuku racing. This will run you about six hundred dollars, but it is much cheaper than say a set of tein coilovers and they will work just fine for anything you would want to do.
