    To keep it all the same why not go with the Tanabe Sustec Pro DD setup

    best suspension for what?
    best as in cheapest? best for a nationally competitive driven autocross car? best for a street car?

    to get a 2.5 - 3 inch drop you'll need to buy some coilovers w/ adjustable mounting brackets (there's alot on the market) and some aftermarket arms to get your alignment in spec. But why would any sane person want that much drop in the first place?

    clearly you should sell the 240, we don't need another badly done 240 in atlanta.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA

    Wait till the subframe completely rusts out, it'll drop to the ground.

    Damn Yuda! N/As13, don't take it personally, but S13's are being molested each and every day, and their assaillants are getting away with it!

    Purpose and Price are two questions your should have answered in your first post. This is why you are getting flamed, becuase u didnt answer those. Theres tonnsss of info on each setup on the net. Find a good 240sx board, and start there. This question is one that gets ask all the time, thats why people get sick of hearing it and take it out on the person asking the question.

    And realize there are some of us who have been around the 240 block for a while now.

    Get some HA's or flt-a2's and call it a day. JIC MAGIC RUCA's and decnt tires.


    There, I helped.

    konis with GC's would be not so great if he's actually planning on trying to to a mini truck lowering job here . the stroke on the koni's would be so short they would be bottoming constantly.

    any coilover with adjustable perches will work, and from the sound of it this dude just needs the cheaper ones like the Megans (still not cheap by any means).
