Well, Tien does currently offer a suspension kit for the classic, but I'm not sure exactly what that kit entails (not sure if it's coils or just spring/strut combo.).
There are a couple of popular street/track setups being used with success; Shigspeed, KYB AGX w/ GC Coils, Hyperco Springs w/ KYB AGX's, exc... The best way for you to figure out what suspension setup is best for you is to have a clear determination of what you want to use your car for and then "search" through this and other forums to find out which setup will best help you attain your goals. (sr20deforum.com , se-r.net , freshalloy.com , exc...... search all the nissan sites you can find)

Harris - went ahead and took care of the "search" for ya.

thanks guys im actully looking at building the car for ser cup and other track days as they come. probably going with agx's but do use know what coil overs wuold have a high enough spring rate looking for something atleast 5-7 hundred....

Hyperco's. Their being sold right now on http://www.sr20forum.com. The sale is being conducted by Chriscar.

By the way, if you're prepping your car for track use only, the Progress coilovers might not be a bad idea. For $1500 for a whole set, they're not bad at all. SCC tried the coilver set and liked it. However, I don't think you want the Progress setup if you also intend to use your car as a daily driver.

My 2 cents.

If you want spring rates that high, then you might want to install a set of GC coilovers on AGX's, you can order the spring rates as high as 600 on the Eibach ERS springs that come with the GC's. You can do GC/AGX for about $800 if you get the GC coilovers from me and the AGX's from www.p-s-t.com. The Hypercos are 300/200 IIRC so they'd be too soft for what you're looking for. The Progress set and the Tein's aren't for sale yet, they're both still in the preproduction stages, and neither of them are likely to have spring rates that high, and you can't order specified rates. I can get you the progress coilovers or Teins for under $1K shipped when they come out if you decided you want them.
