Mate has DMS gear on his silvia. Coilovers cost $3,500 so I dont think they are cheap.

Fiesta still outhandled it, altho I dont think we had optimal setup on the S13.

I think over priced for what they offer.

man im so sketchy about playing with my car setup

like i love the handling but dropping it will make it better supposedly but then i would need bigger wheels otherwise i scrape everything (kit on it) and then the 17"s would loose me handling as well ...

okay heres a few questions then

What is better than stock

1) Lowering Car @ 35mm on 15's stock
2) Lowering Car @ 45mm on 15's stock
3) Lowering Car @ 35mm on 17's (NOT Chromey heavy wheels)
4)Lowering Car @ 45mm on 17's (NOT Chromey heavy wheels)
5) AS IS stock

such a noob question i know but i want better handling and unsure so many ppl wiht diff opinions lol
