SlamBurglars > General Discussion > Introductions
Batman
Hi. My name is Darren and I live in Hollywood and on Tuesday I bought my first s13. I already have rims for it so now im looking for suspension so I cant slam it on its stomach. Any suggestions?
Zach
Sweet, welcome.

PICTURES!


As for suspension, pick up some coilovers. Look into Stance or PBM. Both great brands for the money.
s13 brian
^Agree.

Welcome too.
Batman
Yea i'm not trying to spend a thousand on my suspension though and i've been doing my reading and isis, godspeed and ksport are all out the question
SkinnyRoadster
If you're not going to spend a grand then you wont be going very far.

Look into BC Racing, they are Florida based....right near my house! And do sweet shit for slammage.


new ksport/megans have better valving then they used to have too. fyi
Batman
So would you recommend the ksports?
Ivan the Terrible
if money is an issue i say either dmax coils or pbm but if you dont care get some stance GR+'s
Batman
I'll check them out

Stances are only like $1200 and ride super nice...! i know most of the silvia ppl out there hate megans, but you might want to check them out, they handles my GS400 really nicely and i drove that thing slammed for months without issue. Either way, dont go ksport. And i only reccomend megans if you dont plan on tracking your car.
Batman
Aight well i'll keep looking then
Ivan the Terrible
megans.....eehhhhh.......i have stance and i am totally happy and still enjoying them both on the track and street.
s13 brian
Yea you can probably find some Gr+'s for around $1100.
Ivan the Terrible
i have found stance gr+'s for like 800 bucks used.





just have to look around to find good deals.

I have Megans and I hate them. But they are cheap and get the job done.
Batman
Well it looks like i will probably wait till I have the money for the stance then
Batman
Is godspeed a good brand for rear lower control arms?
Ivan the Terrible
eh they are on ebay huh?

look into isis performance instead of godspeed if money is an issue or save up and get pbm or battle version or peak performance

btw, why do you want an aftermarket lower rear control arm? just press in some poly bushings and be happy with it and if you bend it or break it just swap in another cheap and easy.

I want PBMs on my 240.

Thats what cool kids rock.
dirTy_sancheZ
i got my gr's for just over 1100 shipped and then the s9 adapters for 260. but it just depends on where you look...but i dont know, i think suspension is where you dont wanna skimp, cause you'll be selling and upgrading before you know it otherwise. ive heard nothing but good thinks about stance and cant wait to use them
Batman
Are the s14 and s13 rear lower control arms the same?
+Waldo+
I have BC coilovers on my s14 and i love them. go super low, ride out good, and have been great for street and pushing the car. and i picked them up brand new for like 850.

S14 have a wider track and need S13 balljoints pressed it, but can be used in a S13.
s13 brian
What are wrong with your rlca now?
Batman
I bought the car with bent ones and soneone offered me s14 ones and I didnt know if they fit or not
Batman
Got some money so now Im getting my suspension.:-) any suggestions.btw im trying to make this money go as far as I can. Coilovers trying to tuck some 18's
John P
Stance coilovers.
Batman
Bought my coilovers, got a stock control arm adn ordered the poly bushings to come in to :-)
Batman
This is what I have now. I am planning on putting the coilovers i have on it and clean up te body. its all just dents so nothing I cant handle.
