Hello everyone! I was originally going to post this in the "Parts shop max products forum" but I wanted "sage advice"

anyway

I have a 1990 240sx s13 with an sr20det swap. I plan on getting pbm CO's for obvious reasons: people saying they're durable and produce oversteer pretty well; things of that sort.

my question is what else would I need to purchase with these CO's to help keep my suspension geometry?

if that makes sense. I want to be able to drive confidently knowing that I can do quick nimble turns and drift when i feel like it, not necessarily being forced to slide if that makes sense.

i want to have a great handling car for safety and ballin status

any info would be greatly appreciated! I also searched the website and on google for this kind of answer, but to of no avail

thanks again!

maintaining geometry is from our subframe risers and roll center knuckle mod

but the quicker steering of the super angle knuckle kit makes you feel like drifting
you can use the slower tie rod hole in the SAK but its still faster than stock

alignment is from the multilink parts, you need camber and toe rods at a minimum

I have 16s with a 0 offset. just off head do you think I'd need a pull or anything? I would ask this elsewhere but I'm not quite sure how low your coils go. from what I read people just say they're stiff as fuck and low as shit lol; which I believe is in the beholders eye.

I have Apex N1 exvs on my s13 and they are pretty stiff and my car is decently low enough with a lot of adjustment.

My buddy had an S14 and he bought the PBM coilovers and I got to use them and they are WAY fucking stiffer and with the coilovers at their highest are WAY fucking lower than my car. So NO it is not in the eye of the beholder when it comes to PBM coilovers.

would there be any clearance issues with any sway bars? or am I just being too paranoid. I'm sorry hha. I just want to plan things out and have a general idea of what I'm getting myself into.
