Lowering My 240sx

I am going to lower my 1994 240sx and I was looking at Eibach Sportline I think it lowers it 2.1 in the front and 2.0 in the back, but some of the people I have talked to said that i should go with the Pro-kit it lowers it like 1.8 all around. I want to drop my car but I dont want to low and I dont know what to do. And I want to know if anybody knows where I can get CHEAP springs.

Don't expect too much of a drop from the ProKit. IT will only lower your car about .7" all around. If you want more of a drop, but with the same handling, buy the Intrax springs.... I've had both (Intrax and Prokits)...

Cheap? Ebay. Don't expect them to perform like Eibachs or even Intrax springs though.

And true - Pro-Kits only go about an inch or less lowering. Tein S-Tech's are nice, and the ride height looks pretty good even with stocks on.

is there enough stock camber in a S14 to get the tires right with the amount of drop that the pro springs will drop the car?

or will a camber kit be needed and if so what kind and were to get a good one at a good price

I'm wondering same thing....

I saw an S13 the other day that looked like the rear wheels were broken, the camber was so far off.

I got the Tein S-Tech for 140. I heard nothing but good stuff from tein other than there isn't a HUGE drop, its more about handling and not looks. Try'em out.

If your gonna go with Eibach DONT GET PROKIT

Get the sportline, the prokit is alot softer then the sportline. On my celica I got prokit and it felt softer then the stock springs. Also I plan on getting RSR down's but for now im running on cut stock springs and they're okay.
