Hes running the same coilovers I am running.

 

No it has pride performance coil-overs, which ride really nice. I was happy with my KTS/Soft spring/progress sway bar set up on the S14 so I have no intentions of spending more money on this car when I dont really care about lap times. As long as the car drives the way I want it too and doesnt ride like shit I'm happy. So its pretty close to how I want it already just needs a few personal tweaks to suite my driving style/set up preference.

 

Changed oil, changed pass rear pads to better used pads, found out the hard way my coats 20/20 dont work on my rear dd wheels, made some exhaust clearance, scraped desoto dirt and grass out from under the car and for some reason my driveshaft to diff blots were a little loose so I tightened the shit out of those.

 

Ah then the measurements may help, if my setup would cost what you'd expect to pay for what i'm doing from bilstein, I wouldnt be doing it, in the end i'll have similar $ into it as just running out and buying some typical taiwan made junk, but it should ride great.

So far i've got silkroad fronts that I removed the dampers from the threaded body, they're a 40mm od inverted monotube, those bilstein porsche pss9's i bought a while back on ebay, which are 40mm od inverted monotube also, the next trick is that the pss9's are very long, so i've disassembled another 40mm inverted mono bilstein, to find out if what I want was possible before tearing up the pss9's, and should be able to have the body, and if need be the shaft, shortened to match the dimensions of the old silkroad dampers.

Leaving me with a height and preload independent PSS9 S13 front coilover

 

I'll check it out tomorrow, I need to check the front spring tension anyways.

That sounds really awesome and if I had more money and didn't want to do 30million other things I would follow suite in a similar set up. But I gave up the desire to go all out on my cars a while back.

 

Its more of a the right parts falling in my lap thing, however i've got some other ideas for bilstein stuff, which im working on, that i'll fill you in on, once i've actually confirmed a few things.

 

Works for me. If I can get a set of PSS9's on my car for cheap and not much work I'm all for it.

On a different note, new exhaust set up is going to be twice as awesome as my last one since it has twice as many turn downs.

 

tommy get on aim dood.

 

countdown to clutch implosion t-minus. 5....4....

 

I have them too and I'm glad I didn't buy Megan tracks instead. They ride super smooth.

Anyway...


And got a super awesome deal on another 3" exhaust, and better door panels. There were literally huge clumps of mud from off-roading at Desoto inside the wheels and rear bumper. Not really a fun thing to clean. =/ Also hoping to get my new rack with new tie rods and tein tie rod spacers in by the weekend.
