Does CST even make suspensions for S13s? All I can find is truck suspensions.

I like my Stance coilovers. They were under 1000 shipped. They ride nice for being coilovers.

Yeah dude, adjustable ride height > all
Well, in my opinion anyways, I'm sure many people will disagree. I'm like a hardparker in the making or something.

okay, megans are cheap, but for coilovers under a grand i would recommend powered by max or kbee.

i personally have KTS coilovers, do they even sell those anymore?

For the money, you will get higher quality parts with a spring/strut setup. 1k is really the absolute entry level of coilovers, but at that price point, the contenders are KTS, BC Racing, and Stance. I am personally against ksport, megan, and especially the tein basic.
