S14 Help . . . .
Alright guys, I'm an old school Toyota guy. I had a SR powered S13 a few years ago but never got really into it. I'm back for more Nissan love. I just picked up a S14 to drive every day while the damn Miata sits in the garage waiting for a clutch and other little bits. I'll be driving it for the next few weeks until the Miata can resume its daily responsibilities. Once that happened, I figured I'd pull the motor and stuff it into my '73 510 that is already modded to fit a KA. I know nothing about the aftermarket of these cars, whats good, where to spend money, etc. I'm left with a '95 base shell, where should I take it? I'm 100% positive I don't want an SR again. I've been debating swapping a LS1. I have a friend that owns a vette shop and know I can get hooked up with parts and know-how on those motors. Any thoughts on that?
The FOERST thing I NEED for the car is suspension. This thing rides like a blown Cadillac on the highway. I was gonna go cheap and pick up some Megan's before seeing these at Jarco: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0224350850
For the same pice I assume ya'll would slap me for going Megan. If they get bidded up, are these THAT much better or just another fancy name drop? I'll be converting to 5-lug soon and getting something to roll on other than steelies with gay hub-caps, then doing the motor work. I sold a few project cars, sold my Camaro, and cleaned the garage of extra parts I've been sitting on to collect some cash to be ready for this car, I just need some guidance. 240SX forums SUCK from what I've seen so far.

i agree with matt. i would get new megans before i got used coils for that much. however you can find used coils for around $400 on ebay sometimes and in that case i would go for it. these are from a TN forum: http://www.tennspeed.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7240
if you can get him to go lower on price those are totally worth it. i just don't know who you would get to rebuild them.Used Kei office TD-II coilovers.
They are height and dampening adjustable. Also have pillowball mounts
3 in good condition, one needs rebuilt.
Just mounted them on my car, never even got to drive on them.
The Good: They're kei office. astounding quality and performance. Full height adjustment, pillowball mounts, dampening adjustment.
The bad: One needs rebuilt. But it's just a seal, any local bike/high performance shock shop could rebuild it. Just need parts.
I'm asking $600 plus shipping.
These are an amazing set of coilovers, and with a rebuild will make someone very happy.
I just would like a pants set up.
So that being said...$600 + shipping.
Pics will be sent upon request, Just PM me your email and I'll send them to you

i have megans and they're fine.
i also have my old stuff (mismatched springs consisting of eibach and intrax) with AGX's (mind you one is slightly bent, but it was on my car that way for a full year) that i'll practically give away if for some odd reason you might want them ($75 or so? don't really care, just wanna get them out of here).
