When I went from SR to RB I didn't change my suspension and the car felt marginally different. It was a drift car.

Had it for about 2 yrs, installed a old school Trust turbo kit on it a year ago and is putting down 420whp.

I changed my suspension cuz the car felt so damn nose heavy. My old ass Topline Aragostas couldnt keep up with the extra weight up front.

My car will mainly be a daily driver with a few track days here and there. About to start ordering parts and I figured I'd go ahead do and my suspension. Sold my s13 for suspension money lol. So I'm guessing stiffer up front to compensate for the extra weight? Adjustable dampening a huge plus...or its fine to go with whatever rate?

so i'm guessing i should at least get a 10kg spring rate up front? or would 8kg be okay?
i never messed with the adjustments on my last one.


you guys that already replied, how much did you spend on yours and where did you get them from?


anyone running the apex'i, d2, ksports?

Does not having front sway bars make the car feel less nose heavy on turns? I was told that if I take the front bars out, car will have less understeer with the added weight.

How are s14's vs s13's handling wise? considering the s14 is noticeably a bit bigger than the 13, but, I have Fortune Auto 500's in my Rb25 S13 hatch and it handles and rides beautifully. I have the standard 8k/10k springs FA sends with them.

Can't say for sure you'll have the same experience as I did, but I experimented with removing the front swaybar on my car and the answer is like a yes and no...

The front has more grip and the rear moves more, but the car feels more front-heavy because the outside front rolls a lot more and responds slower. Feels like all the weight is being moved to the outside front corner when you turn. At least, that's how I perceive it..

For daily fortunes with swift spring upgrade. If you call or contact fortune and tell them what car, engine and driving plans they can give you the best set. And USA company.

I have been leaning towards the FA's for a while now and you guys just made my decision solid. Thanks. BTW S13 1jz and the extra weight currently no sway bar is a killer.
