So let me start off by saying that I have read through a ton of threads on here, and I have a pretty good idea of things (for a newbie), but there was some contradicting recommendations as far as supporting mods go.
I don't intend on tracking my car, primarily because there is no longer a racetrack on island (Oahu). Strictly street use/spirited driving. My goal in buying coilovers is to acheive a more aggresive stance and eliminate some (most) of the wheel gap from stock. If this triggers you because I'm "ruining the car" blah blah blah "Nissan engineered it better than you can", sorry but I'm not sorry. I looked at Swift springs, but I would like to have the adjustability of coilovers, and I don't mind spending a bit more money for that. I've kinda narrowed it down to a few different sets of coilovers that fall into my price range.
One of the things I like about the Stance/Fortune Auto coilovers is that both companies make an Air Cup kit for their coilovers. Seems it would be a cheaper/more practical alternative to full airbag suspension that I could save up for and purchase down the road. Ride around at a (relatively, compared to stock) lower ride height, air up the cup kit for help getting up steep curbs/hills/speedbumps. Anyway, I know that after installing any of these coilovers, I'll need an alignment. In order to get closer to factory alignment spec, I will probably need some supporting parts. And here's where I get a bit confused. The Stance and Fortune Auto's are offered in OEM-style (divorced spring/shock) and True-style (coil-over) rears, and there are different supporting mods necessary for these options to get back into alignment spec. So, here are my questions:
I want to do this right the first time, and I'm trying to avoid having to replace my tires more often than necessary. |
