Jesse, you should appreciate these pics. Brandon, again, thanks for the help. We put the fronts springs on yesterday right after lunch when it was hot as balls. I didn't take any "before" shots because 1.) Everyone should know what a stock s13 suspension looks like by now, 2.) no batteries in the damn camera - DOH!

Unfortunately, we did have one casualty: one of the bolts holding the caliper on broke in half. Fun

C, thanks again for the hook-up. :thumbsup

boyd, i'm guessing your car looks slopped now, lol.
you should buy todd's d2's if he decides to buy brandon's kts's....or vice versa.

^^^ HA! Alan was that a Freudian slip, man? I know I'm good-looking and all, but I'm taken. hahaha

Anyway, yeah, the car is a bit sloped (or slopped, depending on your evaluation of the install). I'm actually looking to get some really wide tires on the back and make it look like those Muscle Machines drag cars! It'll be the slowest drag car on the planet. Rock!

Seriously, I need a set of RS*R's for the back. In a bad way. Anybody got an extra set laying around? Anybody? Beuller? Bueller?...

Not sure if you can buy the rears seperately or not. I checked a couple of dealer sites, and everything looked like complete sets. May just have to call around. I'm just lazy, that's all.

Didn't C have a set on stock shocks or was that fronts only?

I got the RS*R's from C for the front, and he gave me a set of stock rear, too. If what Keith says about the stock Silvia suspension being about 1.5" lower than the USDM, that may work instead. Would that work?

I don't know if the S13's differ. Keith has a s14.

Hey it's not fair if you add to your drop by letting air out of your tires.

I'm going to do another search for the rears today. Wish me luck.

Oh, I didn't notice until now! Damn, I need some air in those front tires!!

The Sportlines look pretty good, how do they ride?

This is something I found, very cool stuff (Alan have you seen this? I'm guessing you have).

Nice resource, no matter what.

Brandon, now this should make a lot more sense!
