Smile Just got my insurance check...which coilovers should I get, hahaha

I got my insurance check in the mail and was on my way to the paint shop, when I saw a s14 that looked just like mines (bone stock). I thought to my self, $2,000 dollars to make my car still look stock? So I flipped a U turn and came home to search for some coil overs and maybe some rims.....so my question is what kind of coilovers should I get under $1000.

well.... I will use them for about a year, then I will sell them for half price and buy some "good" coilovers. I am pretty sure they are better than tiens s-tech's springs. I also heard that tien drift coilovers arn't that great. What else brands are good, what website sell KTS>???

I think you should fix the body damage before mods. even if you fix the damage yourself (it really isnt that hard to fill and prep and paint). then wait and see what you have leftover

Then you look like some ***** who tried to race his jdm tyte silvia. I would rather have a nice stock looking car than a beat up car with some nice mods, it just looks tacky. But hey opinions are *******s and we live in America

I plan on drifting the crap out of my s14, performance over looks always been my moto. The damage ain't all that bad, trust me..it was very hard to decide which to do.
