Does anyone know where i can get some HKS springs for my '98 200sx B14?
nothing is wrong with them, i just want something different.Nismo1997 said:Whats wrong with the typical eibach tein?
Somtimes somthing different like that is not good. I would probley only go with those.meangreen200sx said:nothing is wrong with them, i just want something different.
No it isnt the name, it just seem like everyone in the nissan scene get the same parts for their cars. That is cool, but I do not want what everyone else has that drives a nissan. ya know? and yes i do like "rice." But that is just my opinion.1.6pete said:im guessing he wants the name. if you want something differant get Hyper coil, very few "tuners" *cough* ricers *cough* use them. but they arnt junk! car and driver's "super street car challenge" winner (a dodge viper) was useing them

what more do you want!? they dont make them and it would be a waist for them to.meangreen200sx said:NO ONE KNOWS?
why would it be a waste for them to make springs for the 200sx?1.6pete said:what more do you want!? they dont make them and it would be a waist for them to.
because you can call hyper coil and have them make anything you want.............any spring rate, any size drop, and it would be half the price of anything out of HKS' plant..............trust me and Apex'I are you kidding! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$meangreen200sx said:why would it be a waste for them to make springs for the 200sx?
like everyone on here says.....You get what you pay for.1.6pete said:because you can call hyper coil and have them make anything you want.............any spring rate, any size drop, and it would be half the price of anything out of HKS' plant..............trust me and Apex'I are you kidding! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
so your telling me that a set of HKS springs that could be no less than $50 more than a set of hyper coil springs (which everyone raves about i might add) would be better?meangreen200sx said:like everyone on here says.....You get what you pay for.
It's very simple, really. HKS is an aftermarket tuning company. For them, the cost of research, manufacture, and marketing is way too high compared to the number of potential customers. It's not even that they want to make a profit. With the number of Lucinos driving around in Japan and with the number of Sentra/200sx owners in the US who would be willing to pay such a premium for lowering springs, they wouldn't even come close to breaking even.meangreen200sx said:why would it be a waste for them to make springs for the 200sx?
Why don't you just go get a set of Truechoice stage 2+ coil-overs and paint them? I don't approve of your approach to this at all, but at least this way you know you'll end up with a setup that at least works decently well.meangreen200sx said:No it isnt the name, it just seem like everyone in the nissan scene get the same parts for their cars.

its not a big deal...................HKS/apex'i dont make any suspention parts for the b14. sorry..............they will never make them and if they do no one who is serious will buy them because most either use tein coil overs or hypercoil springs, or eibach with shortend strutsmeangreen200sx said:okay, i do not understand what the big deal is.
Before I start, let me just say there is nothing wrong with trying to be unique. Mike Young, owner of NPM's Project 200sx 1.6 Turbo and a huge contributor to the Nissan community, is all about standing out from the crowd. Nismo1997 (you can see his replies earlier in the thread), who is probably more style oriented than anyone I talk to, is constantly striving to infuse his vehicle with his radical personality. There are probably hundreds of members just on NF who are just like these two, all of whom are looking to make their car a little less like the others, and a lot more like themselves.meangreen200sx said:okay, i do not understand what the big deal is.
once it functions the way you desire it to, THEN and only then should you consider form.1.6pete said:function over form
