Here is where you share your personal experience with the family about your suspension parts. Rate your coilovers, rucas, flcas, tie rods, etc. Please keep the chat to a minimum. If you have a question, pm the person who made the review. Keep all negative comments to yourself.

Manufacture: D2

Parts: Coilovers

Appearance/ Quality of Hardware: Uh.. Okay at most..

Installation easy / hard, fitment: It was super easy

What difference did it make to your cars handling? Well, it turned better but that's it..

What Difference did it make to your ride quality? made it shitty..

Would you put these on a track car or DD? Either..Not again.. EVER..

Overall how do you rate the product on a scale of 1-10? 5/10

Price: $850

Okay. As some of you know, I just installed Stance GR+ PRO coilovers on my new s14. They ride extremely well compared to my old d2's and they're relatively cheap for how good they are.

Brand: Isis
Part: Rear upper control arms (rucas)
Review: They seem to be holding up very well. They've taken the "hidden" pot holes and the abuse of the crappy local roads. They're good quality but not near as good as SPL or the like.

Brand: God Speed

Part: Hyper RS Coilovers

Review

Appearance/ Quality of Hardware: dampener threads have started to rust already. Otherwise everything looks and functions fine.

Installation easy / hard, fitment: Easy Installation. Everything Fit perfectly.

What difference did it make to your cars handling?: Obviously a huge improvement over stock. Car sits lower (fronts are maxed and rears are sagged a bit... tops of the tires are flush with fender), handles better, and is more stable at all speeds.

What Difference did it make to your ride quality?: Ride quality suffered somewhat as would any coilover but on a lower setting is not too uncomfortable spring rates are 9/7. They do bounce a little but not bad.

Would you put these on a track car or DD?: DD... for a track car I would want a better coilover thats less bouncy.

Overall how do you rate the product on a scale of 1-10?: 7

Price: $650 Shipped Fatboy Garage

Brand: Suspension Techniques

Part: Sway Bars and Endlinks

Use Category: DD/ Drift/ Mountain Roads

Duration of Use: 300 miles

Review

Appearance/ Quality of Hardware: High Quality Harware, Urathane bushings, and Overall quality looking product.

Installation easy / hard, fitment: The fitment of the swaybars and endlinks was spot on. The bushings were snug and kinda hard to get on (but theyre supposed to be)... The coilovers had to be moved to install the front endlinks but were not in the way once installed. I would definitely recommend having a friend help you install them.

What difference did it make to your cars handling?: ****With the proper alignment**** The car handles turns so much better. Taking exit ramps at ~50mph on stock tires is no issue. Drifting feels more stable. Car is balanced between understeer and oversteer.

What Difference did it make to your ride quality?: No affect other than that car being more stable at all speeds esp when drifting.

Would you put these on a track car or DD?: Both!

Overall how do you rate the product on a scale of 1-10?: 10

Price: ~$300 Shipped from Enjuku
