eibach sportline: 2.2 front / 2.1 rear
eibach pro-kit: 1.8 front / 1.6 rear tanabe gf210: 1.5 front / 1.0 rear all for 89-94 s13 (incase anyone was wondering) |
I know the specs, what I meant was which one is better for performances, prokit or sportline on S14.

Originally posted by redpotatoes I know the specs, what I meant was which one is better for performances, prokit or sportline on S14. (AFAIK IIRC): TEIN S-Tech has mild increase in spring rates and mild lowering; you can use these with OEM shocks (but not recommended); most people who are on a performance budget go for these + KYB GR-2's or KYB AGX (the "christmas setup"). Eibach Sportline has a little better spring rate than OEM, more lowering than any other spring listed; at minimum you can run with KYB GR-2's or Tokico Blue shocks with these. OEM shocks are not recommended. Tanabe Drop Feeling is similar to Eibach Sportline in terms of stiffness, but lower the car more than Sportline; recommend to use with KYB GR-2's or Tokico Blue's (the "smurf setup"). Tanabe Grip Feeling is stiffer than Eibach Sportline but not as stiff as Eibach Prokit; recommend to use with KYB AGX or Koni SPorts (Yellow) shocks. Eibach Prokit has stiffer rates, less lowering; you must use aftermarket shocks like KYB AGX / Tokico Illumina / Koni Sports (Yellows) to use these correctly. RS-R Race are the stiffest you can buy in a store without going custom, but you better have Koni Yellows (Special valved for RS-R rates) or you'll kill your OEM shocks with these springs. Some people use these with AGX, but that's pushing the limit of the AGX shock. I guess for low-speed stuff like Auto-X it hangs. LMAO If you really want to get springs, I'd recommend choosing anything listed above. Now then... STAY AWAY FROM Generic stuff like Dropzone springs; the generic stuff may be cheap in the wallet and lower your car decent, but they are all superbly craptacular; likewise, these ghetto-fabulous low-quality springs are better than choosing R-1 type coilover SLEEVES that doesn't even fit... but then again anything listed in this paragraph isn't worth wasting time and money on. I don't care what your reasons are for buying this crap - if you can't afford it, save money until you can or find a different hobby. the only reasons for buying this crap is 1) you are ignorant and didn't know it was crap; 2) you have no patience and just want to be cool already with your lowered car. As for the rest: Never used Intrax but they go pretty low. LOL RS-R Titaniums are like S-Techs but super duper lightweight and super duper $$$ holy cow! Sprint springs are like S-Techs - nothing special, but decent for the budget. HKS Super Form are like S-Techs but overpriced. Megan Racing are like Sprints but lower, and I still won't trust them. TEIN H-Tech is pointless. RS-R Drop springs are like S-Techs. Tanabe Normal Feeling springs are like TEIN H-Tech's, but you get Tanabe stickers instead. Ground Controls are the only coilover-sleeve worth mentioning, but think about it - if you were to piece together a complete suspension setup: $250 for GC sleeves + $500 for Koni Sports + Around $175 for a decent spring + $275 for pillowball upper plates = ...if you are willing to spend this much to piece together a good suspension setup, add it up: you have more than enough $ to get real coilovers =) Stick with the good stuffs. :thumb: |
Woot! make that a sticky thread raine! thanks!

what should I stick it to? LOL

Originally posted by ghostman so true. its amazing how many people choose this route :werd:. r-1 all the way baby! lmao I actually know a guy who installed those sleeves on his S13 at my house, and man... was I making fun of him that day ROFL |
Originally posted by l2aine seriously all the people who got suckered into buying R-1's "coilover sleeves for 240SX's" probably felt owned when they tried to install them and found their car to be 2" HIGHER (at the lowest setting).

Why Isn't This Stickied!?
Great info. :thumb: |
Good informations. This should be sticky.
I actually have KYB GR2 with OEM springs. You mentionned: Eibach Sportline ... at minimum you can run with KYB GR-2's ... Eibach Prokit ... you must use aftermarket shocks like KYB AGX / Tokico Illumina / Koni Sports (Yellows) to use these correctly ... So Prokit would not be recommended with GR2 ? Just looking to have to best springs possible for my actual GR2. Thx |
