My H.I.E. set up is done. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

At first I didn't know how much I was going to like the Dual N1 but now that I have it, I wouldn't have it any other way. Great upper level power and no real lose at all in mid range. The sound is great and I don't think I could find a better sound if I tryed. My question is what should I do next? I have H.I.E. set up (Header Intake Exhaust) now what should I do... My main thought is springs (Eibach Pro's) and Hot Wires by Nology. But thats not to hard to get either... What should I do next? Should I go for the Unorthodox pulleys or not? I just need some tips.... So hand them out...

Can you give me some good names that wont cost me over a grand for shocks?

I also think suspension is a good next step. I've never used any of these but some common setups I hear of are...
tokio blues(nonadjustable) or koni yellows(adjustable) shocks/struts with eibach prokits, eibach sportlines, h&r, or tanabie springs. I don't think you would want to use tanabie with the tokio's though because they are a 2" drop and tokio are basically upgraded stock shocks. There are a lot of links in the links section here at zilvia where you can buy any of those.

KYB AGX shocks/struts are another adjustable option. I've got them now, and my handling has improved quite a bit.

Don't bother with the Nology wires, stick with NGK, Accel, or Magnecors.  Nology wires won't give you the performance you may be looking for.  Like any new set of wires, they'll most likely give you better gas mileage.  But the cost of them is outrageous.  These wires would be best suited to a turbo or supercharger application, which in your case your not.  Save yourself some cash and stick with either the aftermarket brands I said, or go with OEM for the time being.
