I'm looking at putting some new shocks in my track/drift S13 and I'm tossing up between all the cheapy coilovers. D2, ISC, BC, G4's, HSD's etc.

And the other option of putting something like Bilstiens in it with good sway bars and springs. But I don't think that gives me camber adjustment on the shock without adding camber bushes.

What are people using, how much did it cost and what do you think after having done it?

1400 is about the limit for the coilovers.

Cheers guys

P.S. I'm new to all this silvia business, I've had a Series II R33 and a Series II R33 GT-R bot this is my first Sil so be gentle

im not going to post it here (forum sponsors) but 3 of the coil-overs you listed are absolute junk (and in some cases the same thing just a diff colour), pm me if you want to be sent in the right direction.

1: stay the f**k away from D2 and G4 at all cost

2: off the shelf B6 S13 bilsteins are pretty good, relatively hard and will comfortably take a 6/4kg spring setup (i believe, need to double check the fronts as i really only have the damper specs for rear), which is a good setup for drift.

3: camber adjustment from coilovers is only available at the front, u can buy camber tops separately which can be used with bilsteins if u wanted to. for the rear u need adjustable arms

4: regardless of what suspension u go with, sway bars are a must, adjustability is a must.
