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?

Sweet, welcome.
PICTURES!
As for suspension, pick up some coilovers. Look into Stance or PBM. Both great brands for the money.

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

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.

I have Megans and I hate them. But they are cheap and get the job done.

Is godspeed a good brand for rear lower control arms?
Ivan the Terrible
Feb 6 2010, 02:48 AM
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 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

S14 have a wider track and need S13 balljoints pressed it, but can be used in a S13.
