Post The suspension thread.

I noticed a certain amount of people(myself included) asking about suspension settings and different types/brands..so I tought it would be helpful if the people that have suspension mods will post their springs they are using and the settings they have followed by what they do (autoX/Drift/drag)

what are you riding on?

the only suspension mod i've done so far was upgrade the TC rod bushings to Nismo hard rubber. I blew my stock struts out shortly after that, so i haven't had a chance to test them out too well yet

Good point, while researching for tips/info on my suspension I also found that the KYB AGX/Pro Kit is very used on the S14 as to the KYB AGX/ sportline on the S13...I will be posting pics of the S13 before and after setup ASAP.

I finally got pics of mine from before and after, but the car still doesn't look lowered like it should look

KYB AGX's with Eibachs', Strut bars, Hicas Sway Bars, and upgrading TC rods & Tie Rod Ends when I can afford it.

Here's the front before and after, GOD it looked like an airplane before!


AFTER!
