No, those are the correct coilovers. Don't forget that the front coilover mounting brackets are different sizes from s13/s14, and I'm pretty sure the rears are different diameter holes too. So s13 coilovers wouldn't fit on the get-go. Someone else ran into the same problem on zilvia, but it isn't really a problem Also, make sure your springs has some preload and everything is super tight.

So I need preload? Ugh... I really shoulda done more research before I put them on. In all actuallity, their S15 coilovers apparently they're interchangeable. I'm gunna give Max a call so they can help me with my noobness.

They're the same, apparently. so MAX sells them as s14 ones in the states

Well if the rears are only gonna go that high you ought to slam the front too. God that is rediculously low for being the highest setting.

HELL YES

Lol I could barely get the jack from under my car as it is. I think another inch lower and I woulda got stuck hahahaha. But seriously, first time I set the rears about half height and when I put the wheels on I was tucked about 2 inches from the top of the rim. You could probably drop the rear to the floor.

But going too low is bad for the stock suspension right? What mods do I need to toss on in order not to hurt my other components?

RUCAS at least. But yeah, that is really gonna mess with your geometry. You should really call MAXX just to be sure about the height. P.S. lower it onto two pieces of a 2x4 (and park on them) when jacking it up and you'll be golden.

oh man being low is awesome but a pain too
I need to get super low ramps otherwise I have to used the stock car jack and raise it on the side, then use a regular jack to raised the front up.

Tow Hook all the way.
