s13 coilover decision help!!

and its not like you have to go all out its your 1st 240 and its not gonna be a track car so and like madk180sx said learn how to drift smoothly and go from there because blowing coilovers sucks and they arent cheap to rebuild. save the money for an sr swap before u buy anything else so you wont be buying the shit for nothing. honestly imo buying rims and coils before doing the swap is dumb. some disagree its just my pov.

Ima have to disagree with you on this. swap before coils is dumb imo.

70k on ka??? Perfect. Get isis coils and start piecing together a t25 kit. Can be done for around 1200 for some decent parts. While your piecing together the kit, get a helmet and get out to events and learn what your car can do. Then when the time comes to put your t25 kit on, you'll have a basic idea of what to do in certain situations.

Wish the Isis coils went lower in the back :(

Could always raise the top mounting point in the rear. Just an idea.

Like intercooler piping?
Intercooler couplers?
Smashing your intercooler Core?
Loose turbo?
Vaccum line to wastegate coming off?
Bad wastegate?
Lag?
Blown turbos?
Boost leaks?
Tiny displcement?
Loss of a cylinder means zero power?
Retarded tuning?
Insane price of performance parts for very small power gains?









No, I'm not that kinda guy.
 
ima run my ka for a while then turbo it when i know the car. btw im getting megan racing headers with isis gt spec exhaust and fortune auto coils. :D
 
heard nothing but awesome stuff about Stance GR+ and PBM coils they're just more expensive.... what about a pair of basic Tanabe's? for like 700 - 1100?
 
DMAX
Tanabes
SilkRoads
Stance
BC
PBM
Megans
Teins

probably teins/megans you could afford new, the rest are in the $1,200-1,500 range, but worth it.

Hey bro, don't waste your time with the header. All it's gonna do is male your car insanely loud. You won't see any power gains really.
 
That's great, but that's 200 crank, with tuning and other stuff. It's just bot worth it. At the end of a day, a Ka is just a Ka...... But a Ka-t is amazing.
