powered by max coilovers will get you as low as you want! be sure to get their toe arm for slammed cars, and their matching camber arm too.

OTG Vinyl · 12-05-2008, 08:50 PM

Airbags.

LongGrain · 12-05-2008, 08:55 PM

lunatyk · 12-05-2008, 09:06 PM

Why do you need other options, kts is great quality. Wish I got them while they had that ultra-low option.

You realize a car that is basically scraping the ground sucks for track use? It may look good but say bye bye to handling.

Umm...you gonna have an alignment machine with you when you raise the car for "better handling"?!?!

You fuck around with the ride height, you fuck around with the aligment...so that may not be something you wanna do on a regular basis cuz your alignment will be off every single time you mess around with it...

sorry but.... 40 way adjustable? fucking marketing bs! you don't need 40 way adjustable..

A PUNK · 12-06-2008, 11:38 AM

Is there even a 40 way ajustable? haha... You should really just get good track hieght coilovers so that you have good handling and then at shows lower it. Don't go spend money on shit that is going to mess with your peformance. Also, your wheels won't bend that much when you drop it so most people won't even notice. Just throwin' my two cents in...

murda-c · 12-06-2008, 11:42 AM

Look if i don't put clicks on the knob, i can put whatever number i want.

A PUNK · 12-06-2008, 11:55 AM

I'm not following you... WTF did you say? haha

murda-c · 12-06-2008, 12:00 PM

Alot of shock adjusters don't click when you turn them, so you could really divide the adjustment up as small as you want. The number of adjustments doesn't really affect the adjustment range anyway.

I agree that you dont NEED 40 way adjustable.... but then again, you dont need a turbo engine, nor do you need to be low with flush ass fitment in the first place. But it's nice. lol

There are ways to properly adjust suspension so you can be low and handle great. go to shows and lower it? are we in fast and furious?

what the f*ck does that even mean? I'm sure youre talking about the amount of camber, but jesus christ you need to learn some more automotive vocabulary words.

A PUNK · 12-06-2008, 12:51 PM

Haha, yeah. That was the word. I couldn't find it for the life of me. Is this car a Daily driver or a track car or a show car...

atutt · 12-06-2008, 05:07 PM

I like my JIC-FLT-A2's... Kinda. lol
This is how I'm set now. I could still drop it another 3'' if I removed some collars and whatnot.

Better pic...

By that I mean you can't tell the difference from maybe max stiff and max soft. so really its just 2 way adjustable with 38 clicks in between. and wider stance does make a difference... but with your logic you dont NEED a car or the internet anyways... but if you WANT quality coilovers that go low Powered By Max is what i recommend.

I mean, you can tell a difference between max stiff and soft. Kind of like wiper speed. you have low, med, and high. then you have the adjustment knob to get it juuuuuuust right.

anyway... quality and lowness. PBM def. Just thought I'd give another opinion.

***FaLKoN240*** · 12-06-2008, 06:15 PM

Just shut up all you guys getting butt hurt defending your friend's coilovers or whatever.

All that adjustability is just window dressing to sell a product.

Megans have 32 way adjustability or some crap, but you can't even tell the difference between 8 and 10.

If you want coilovers Stance for S chassis were specially built to go low.

Pretty much any coilover can go low, you just gotta know what to do during installation.

If you gotta ask what kind of coilovers you should get you need to do more research.

Everyone in here is going to have a skewed opinion based on what they own/owned.

I've had Tein SS- KTS- KBee- Tein Super Drift

In that order and I consider the last set the best set of coilovers I've ever owned.

rps13drift · 12-06-2008, 06:41 PM

powered by max if you wanna go low! End of story.

holemilk00 · 12-06-2008, 06:52 PM

I put my stances down as low as they would go last night and I couldn't even sit the car all the way down, the wheels were hitting the top of the inner fenders, the body kit was hitting the ground up front, and the rear housing was on the ground, I just about couldn't get it back up to lift it.

But back "Off" topic, you need to worry about wearing your axle joints changing the ride height that often.

BoostedCoupe · 12-06-2008, 08:04 PM

I have ksports and they go low here is a pic of the car now. Car has 18's and the coils are not maxed out. i belive i could sit the car on the frame if i wanted to.

A PUNK · 12-07-2008, 05:10 PM

I am thinking about getting a set of Ksports for my S13. I have heard good things about 'em.

Sir · 12-13-2008, 05:38 AM

if you want low, Ddrugs are slammed on their highest setting.

irax · 12-13-2008, 09:07 AM

Powered By Max

as low as you're ever going to want...
on 18's with super stretch tires, not so stretch in the front.

Hammond · 12-13-2008, 09:18 AM

My old Kei Office went pretty damn low.

Anyone know much about D2's? Do they go silly low?

TheSquidd · 12-14-2008, 10:56 AM

I gotta go with PBM coils. Every dumped SD car is on them. They have like, the best price ever and I am told they are super durable.

And yeah. My Silkroads had 8-way adjustments. And it was fucking NICE. You could actually feel what the difference was.

But I couldn't brag to all my JDM friends that had 64-way adjustable Megans
