I gotta start sanding the lips to make them nice n shiny. So i was bored outta my mind today and being the overly anxious person i am tried to get my 5 lug hubs on the rears to see what the wheels would look like actually mounted minus brakes and almost messed up big time.. at least ill be able to do it even quicker when i actually go to put them on. Im debating whether or not i should wait till i have coilovers to put the wheels on or if i should just get tires and throw em on. hmmmm help me decide.

Pepboys and autozone also have it. It comes in the metal container.
Home Depot might have it, I though I saw it there a while back.

ironically you can get KTS, Zeal and Aragostas at the same place.

www.splparts.com

you can get stance coilovers pretty much anywhere knowadays.

Quantum coilovers are like the loch ness monster or dragons, except doper.

some claim they have seen them on a certain S2000, some say on a GT-R. Certain people even claim to have photos of them.



haha. if i remember correctly i think memory fab can get them.

yaaa soooo outta those three im pretty sure im just going to get the kts haha. i was looking at the megan tracks for a while because i had the streets on my last s14 and liked them a lot but was looking for a little bit more of a stiffer setup. Does/has anyone had the megans and kts? how do they compare? Or has anyone talked to/knows someone that has had both?

What are your guys opinions on megan tracks vs. kts

search does wonders..

megan and tanabe's are probably the cheapest coilovers you can actually
buy..

they are pretty much bang for the buck kind of deals..
you can't really find anything better for about 200 dollars less..
then again, you can't really find anything good for under 1k also..
my regards to you if you decide to buy megans, but i wouldn't recommend it..
they're not that great in my opinion and you do pay for what you get..

generally good coilovers depend on how long they would last, you can usually
adjust alot of these coilovers to what ever stiffness and settings you'd like,
sorta..
