Subframe spacer? (not quite sure what that is yet...)
Tein HE are a good coilover. 8/6 springs, valved nicely when you put em at about 8-10 clicks out of 16. very good product, resistant to rust. and for the price, they are impossible to beat. After actually seeing and playing with JIC's product, I don't like it at all in quality . the A2 is nice, but aluminum = :thumbsdown:
Tanabe sway bars. Hrmm.. Now that the better endlinks are avaialble, i would just stick with the whitelines, or do LARGUS if you are ready for it. Remember, I have stock swaybars on my car, and LOVE them!!! The hicas swaybar is pretty much all you need in my personal opinion for anything less than 4th gear drifting.
For the rear arms and Tension arms, I wouldnt' do anything other than DGTRIALS or SPL PARTS. Both of these have the incredible product. DGTRIALS have the Largest rod-ends of any of the competitors product, I love them! (I run SPL / Battle Version / DGtrials ALL on my car, and DG products are the best, by far, anybody can come to the s hop and look at my car and see for themself ) The price is VERY competitive also! Like I said, SPL or DG. Nothing else comes close.
YOU DO NOT NEED ALL OF THESE PARTS TO BE A DRIFTER! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND USE IT TOWARDS SEAT TIME !!!!!
Strut tower bars, 46.00 ebay special front and rear buy it now. Do eet!!
Tie rods are good to get tein. They automaticlly are larger and beefier, plus they get the little spacer install that you can put in and hold a larger steering angle!!! Works awesome! If your car is super low (like mine) and you are trying to move the roll center back the origional distance fromt he CG, then you can look into the kazama tie rod ends. but lots of money!
There is no need to replace the tie rods unless yours are screwed, stay with stock otherwise, that money can be spent practicing!!
For bushings, Energy suspension now makes all the bushings for the S13. They are really high quality also! For subframe spacer, i reccomend SPL PARTS 1!! ythey have the kazama clone and they work excellent on my car>
Thanks for playing, let me know if you need anything else!
