suspension
what would be the best full customization kit i can get for 240sx RPS13?
i was lookin at teins, but i have no clue whats the difference between HE, HA, RA. so if anyone knows how to help me and explain the stuff of any suspension comparison i would most appreciate it.

It all really comes down to Spring rate and Dampening between those. HA has the best ride out of those three, HE Gets rough then the RA is hell lol (Havent driven in one with the kit but im sure its a very hard ride) Is this car for drifting/auto X, daily driving?

o0k for some daily driving the RA is over board lol, If ya wanna stick with Tein then go with the HE. Great for drifting and not THAT bad for daily driving, just make sure to make it pretty soft for the roads lol.

When you go to coilovers (which I believe you really want to do) then the Tein Basic's are great because they're relatively cheaper than other options, they have simple fixed dampening but you have your "height adjustment" that you don't get from shock/spring combos.
But if you're SERIOUSLY considering real drifting on a daily, you might want to get the HA's like Hyjynx said. They're not the most adjustable out there, but they're pretty good.
Endless doesn't make coilovers... I think you're referring to Zeal, which is imported here through Endless or something. Anyways, I had a chance to check out the Zeals yesterday, and they look very nice. Lots of adjustments, but kind of pricey.
Also remember that a real "drift" suspension won't work on the street - it's too stiff and the ride would be hell on wheels
