The suspension thread
fun times.
list EVERY damn last suspension component (even bushings/powerbrace) and in your opinion, which exact part is the BEST aftermarket replacement for it. even list hands on/fabbing mods (spindle mods etc.)
try and make it organized and friendly, dont go off topic please, if you're gonna post, post your list. post your dream setup, not your pos godspeed coilover, megan ruca combo.
example
coilover: JIC FLA-TAS
RUCA: battle version
Power brace: nismo
and so on.

S14
16 pcf foamed
power brace, S15 ladder bars, ikea brace, DC front STB
Nismo subframe bushings, diff bushings
SPL TC rods
Tein Monoflex
3/4" fender gap F/R with 245/40/17 RE-01R's F/R
Pretty straight forward. Everything off the shelf, except ikea brace (that's a piece of sheet steel that you weld over the trunk hole behind the rear seat). With a 330/280 SR and a 4.3 HLSD, you'd have an easy to drive, well rounded car.

Realistic Set up (my car).
Non knock off coil-overs (ie not megan, Ksport)
SPL stuff for arms
ES bushings for uprights with grease fittings (or SPL spherical $$$)
ES Subframe bushings
ES FLCA bushings with Grease fittings
Nismo Diff bushings
ES Steering rack bushings
Moog Inner/Outer Tie rods
Moog Ball joints
Z32 uprights
Nismo Z32 shock mount bushings
Fender braces
Trunk brace (OEM S15 Spec R style)
Stitch weld engine bay
Gusset shock towers.
Some type of front sway with decent endlinks
What ever strut bars (Circuit sport is cheap and decent)
And foam fill specific locations on chassis like Epstein said.
Tires I would go with a non-stagger 245 or 255 Dunlop Star Specs. Almost identicle performance as RE-O1R but better in the rain and about $35 less per tire.
