I was lookin for coilovers for da front of my 14 and i was told that ones out of a 180 wont fit cos the bottom holes are smaller, thats all i no weather its true or not

[NIALL JZX]

s14 and s15 are the exact same front and rear are'nt they

[kevs15]

s14 and s15 are the exact same front and rear are'nt they

fact, wel fronts are anyway because i just took the
leaking ones out of my road 15 and put them into
the drift 14 for mondello last weekend..

Don't buy fucked second hand coilovers,get lowering springs and new standard shocks,only cost about €150 all in for rear and will handle like a dream

[sideways boy]

Standard shocks with lowering springs is a bad combination mate as there is too much travel in the shock for the shorter springs as they are obviously designed to work with the standard longer springs. I know because I have had cars like this and they were a disaster. Pure uncomfortable unpredictable and way too bouncy and you have no adjustment either. There is nothing wrong with buying a scond hand set of coilovers once they are not leaking and coilovers are the only job if you want a proper handling car.

[lsd32]

Well I am driving a car with these at the moment and she's comfy as fuck and far less bouncy than coilovers,and you need a little more seat time if you think its in predictible as it handles perfect.I really wonder as to why people seem to think that coilovers are a first mod for a drift car,paying 6or7hundred euro for suspension when you can't even transition makes no sense to me like it's not as if they are doing silverstone in forth! Fuck the coilovers and get the diff welded and spend your money on track time.

Well thats fine if you are happy with that setup on your car. Its just my opinion and common opinion that a proper set of coilovers is the way to go.
