ok so everyone remembers my story with my suspension right??? RIGHT????? lol well i been driving it for awhile and my car shakes a lot and the rear jumps way to much. so im getting it checked and if they can find the problem im telling them to remove then and ill order either tanabe sustec pro s-oc II coilover for $765.00 or tein basic dampers for $799.00. the kyb and the oem used springs that my mom ordered cost $800.00 so ill just pay the shipping but the thing is im going to order from 240sxmotoring.com are they trustworthy??? or should i get tokico hp struts??

dont waste your money on tanabe or tein.
if you cant afford some real coilovers just rock tokicos for a while and save.

ok well i found out that the bastards didnt tighten it right so now its ok (damn i wanted to lower my car but i guess not lol) so i found that i need the engine and tranny mounts i found nismo ones for 200 all three parts but i will also need the mounts for the differential im guessing that its the bushings.... when u look under the car from the rear u see to wholes where it holds the differential so i need those yay me i guess lol. will see what else my car needs other than everything lol.

there are 4 differential bushings. The nismo mounts would be a good buy. Might feel a little stiffer, but its less slop for the system.

splparts sells aluminum differential bushings for the s14. (forgot what you have). But i dont see why they wouldnt work for an s13(never really investigated). But i was going to email them and ask them if it is basically a "universal S chassis" product. But you can feel free to instead lol.

get subframe bushing and new motor/tranny mounts. if you still want coilovers save up $200 more and get the KTS coilovers. cheap tanabe not worth it and any tein not worth it. ive driven the tein he's before and i liked how my 12 year old stock suspension felt better

ok so here it is my ka-t will be to the side once again....damn. i will order my mounts and the bushing the suspension that will have to wait too. lets see i will try to save 200 a months so in like 5-6 months ill save for the suspension after that save again hopefully nothing else will go wrong :( and wait at least the same maybe 7-8 months so i can get at least my ka-t up with 200whp i hope. :( so here is the thing though should i go with the SPL pro aluminum differential bushings or Nismo differential mounting bushings ???

the aluminum one's will never go bad. The nismo ones are just tougher urethane that will go bad over time....a long period of time. I would just get the spl ones. It will reduce all slop of the bushings. It may cause a little bit more noise and stiffness do to no "give" of the alluminum. But your into performance so it does not matter. I have the alluminum sub frame bushings and can tell you those look very well crafted and not cheap looking.

cool just wanted to make sure i was making a good choice with the spl. ill be ordering them soon so my check list is going good. suspension not what i was looking for but will do for now, mounts and bushings ordering soon, next my fund for the ka-t will start. ill keep it at 200-250rwhp for now nothing to over the limit for me well maybe go for 350 to the wheel so i can beat my friend against his camaro bastard got his engine rebuilt and now is at 412hp have no idea how much to the wheel. he likes to talk about my 240 he named it skyline because i was going to order the rb25 but i lost my money on other stuff (down payment for the benz). but those two things are up next soon i hope.

get the SOLID bushing! not the SPACER bushings! the spacers will only work if ur existing bushing is still intact! but like most of us, ur sub frame bushings are completely out! so adding a reinforcement to it will do u noooo good!
So get the solid Al unit

i had the spacers and it didn't do anything to my car!

yea good point. Spl has good stuff. There tension rods are great. Beefy things. Ill be ordering there front tie rods here shortly. I thought he said he needed differential bushings though??? There is no collars for those, there are collars for subframe chassis bushings.

those are differential bushings. Get the alluminum spl ones. There should be two more. They come 4 in a set.
