Thanks for the compliments! I've just got Tein S-tech springs on it right now but I am totally wanting to go lower, especially the front. I was thinking of getting some Koni Yellow shocks soon.

Very nice choice, but suuuuper weak offsets. PLEASE 10mm spacer at least. Also, what front brakes are those?

Ya the offsets are pretty weak but I just wanted something that cleared the Rotora calipers. I have 5mm spacers on the front at the moment.

Ya I got 115k miles so I think the shocks are about done all around. I'm not sure why the rear is lower but I definitely need to fix the front gap. I've got JIC Magic FLT-A2 coilovers on my 240sx but I don't know what coils to go with for the 2G. My buddy's Tein SS always bottomed out because of the low spring rate. His front ball joints would hit the inside of the wheelwell. Anyone against Koni Yellows since I already have springs?

Get Function and Form II they are a bit pricey but are probably the best ones u can buy? Or go with F&FI for about half the price, they are also amazing.

Those looks awesome with the lower mount adjustment. $900 is NOT bad for coilovers either! That's only a couple hundred more than Koni Yellows with way more bang for the buck. I think the F&FII are next on my list. Thanks again guys!

nice whip. SSM FTMFW!

the Koni SP3 struts have 5 lowering perches, if you want strut comfort with a more agressive drop.

Ya they are rotora bbk. I got some 10mm spacers on the way for the rear and 5mm on the front now. Also the mugen wing isn't a replica it's the real thing. I'm searching for a saber grill before getting the rear H. I'll be getting those function and form II before christmas. Thanks guys! I'm trying to keep it OEM as possible. I got the blackwood wheel too!
