i put on my damp0rz [PICS] 56K no dice.
my pops and i put the apex N1 pro's on the other night at his shop, then aligned the car..
i guess he thought it would be funny to make them as stiff as possible so my whole drive home was like riding on pogo sticks.. i got home and twisted them to the softest ride possible, which by any means isnt soft.
i wouldnt reccomend this suspension to anyone that wants a comfy ride.. i still havent messed with the rears at all, so i hope i can make it as comfy as it can get for street use..
as far as handling.. the car turns GREAT now.. and i can build boost in a turn without the car wanting to throw the rear out.. im thinking my next mods will be LSD and tires.. im sick of the weak sidewalls on the tires that came with the car.
and im thinking i will finally have an HID kit on the car by the begining of next week. Halogen is driving me nuts.. some of you will say "its just lights" but for those of you who have owned HID for as long as me, or even those of you who have just gotten it, you know there is no turning back.
so anyways.. sorry for the "diary entry," here are the pics.

Nice pics. Looks like a clean car, just needs some nice wheels and tires. So you happy with your suspension so far?? Pretty harsh for a daily drive right.

Well the front bumper cover conseals the FMIC pretty well. If I were to drive by you I would think you were nothing more than a stock slammed 240 with exhaust.

Oh wait. The pic buff that you are and no pics oh you and your pops installing the suspension.??????
haha, seriously though.. i think the finished product is much more interesting.. i never really enjoyed "installation" pics unless they were for tutorial or "help me" purposes..so i didnt bring my camera along..
plus, a suspension install is pretty basic.. and i doubt any honda guys are wondering how to install dampers on an s14..

You're car is one of the reasons I'm test driving a 98 240sx this weekend. Congrats on the install, clean ride.
edit: if that 98 has the factory lip.. buy the car..then sell me the lip

Looks awesome! I love the fact that it looks like your every day run a muck 240 sx..... till you get to the front of the car and peep through the front bumper...

not bad at all.. do we have a Silvia S14 SR20-DET engine under the hood yet?
i'm hearing about front mount intercoolers, but i haven't seen an engine bay pic yet

It doesn't hehe, looks like we're both looking for the same lip. But $250 from Nissan is just insane.
