Lots of height adjustability, I think I could literally drop the car so low the frame would be sitting on the ground. A six inch drop is definately not out of the question with these coilovers, but Stance is known for that. Considering cost, ride quality, and overall quality of the coilover I couldnt be happier.

I just got Stance GR+ Pro Coilovers and they are amazing. Ride height adjustability is awesome, they handle perfect as ryguy^^ says on stiffest and softest. I would recommend Stance to anyone

What coilover setup doesn't allow you to adjust camber nowadays? So, yes, yes you can.

Has anyone else used the Nismo S-Tunes for the S13? I don't need a set of coilovers that I can adjust ride height, as my car is a DD that is used for spirited driving, auto X, and occasional HPDE. I only saw the one person even mention them.

Thanks in advance.

What CoilOvers should I get? I have a $900.00 dollar budget and I plan on using the car for the street.

A person said that they have Megan Racing coilovers and it cost them $800.00. I was looking at those coilovers and they don't cost $800.00, it is more like $1500.00! Where and what model coilovers did you get?

I have a 1990 240SX S13.

megan streets are listed as $1,050 on the megan racing website. which means you can definitely find them cheaper elsewhere.

I'd recommend Stance, 900 for the higher end model and many here swear by them. I have the Apexi EVC (discontinued) but they have the EXC or something like that now, really good coilovers, but cost around 1500.

Megan Racing coilovers do not cost 1500. I don't know where you're looking, but I couldnt find a set for over $950.
Honestly though buy Stance GR Basics. Under 1000 shipped, plus its an American company so rebuilds are more convenient.

What bushing should i replace for the front? I'm planning on installing Tein inner and outer tie rods, nismo power brace, tanabe sway bars & tension rods. Lower control arm would be replaced later on.
