as some of you may know, i've been floating about here for a couple weeks..... and.... i went to view an S15 today! MY GOD it's one of the best conditions i've seen one in!

no dings at all! the only thing i noticed was a chip on the boot that'd been touched up! but nothing major!

sooooo, deposit paid, it's being uk registered, MOT'd and taxed and a cat'1 alarm fitted this week, and should have it either this week or next!

oh, and for people saying wouldn't be impressed with one.... SOOO SOOO wrong!!! LOL

brand new tein coilovers, nismo oil pres' gauge, factory boost gauge, blitz turbo timer, HKS exhaust, Apexi filter , blitz dump valve and..... white volk TE37s!!! :D

Ming are you seeing this? Go get some white wheels now mate :thumbs:

The aero front bar looks dead sexy.
Bet you can't wait. You're lucky you only have to wait a few weeks. I had to wait several months :(

That look really good. :) The wheels will sit in the arches, so drop it a bit more (remembering, of course, that it'll need all the other suspension components sorting)... :nod:

The standard alignment adjusters on S14s and S15s are pretty much at the limit to start with, unfortunately. If you've got camber adjustable coilovers, you will have enough adjustment to sort the front alignment, though some adjustable tension rods wouldn't do any harm. The rear, even if you've got adjustables, cannot be camber adjusted. You will almost certainly need adjustable rear camber arms to avoid running excessive negative camber (running on the edges of the tyres). If you are planning on slamming it (more than 30-35mm) then you will also need adjsutable rear toe arms. If the coilovers aren't adjustable, you will also need front camber bolts and tension roads.

The downside is that all that lot will cost. The upside is that your suspension will be much more adjsutable and your laser alignment place will love you as it makes their job much easier and quicker.

the front uppers are deff' camber adjustable. not sure on the rears, have to wait and see.

it's amazing how different cars are sooo different....for the same thing! rear toe arms weren't needed on the civic when dropped loads, just camber adjusters.

i'd also be correct in thinkin' the S14 suspension components are the same as the S15...?

basically, i'd be lookin' to get rear toe arms and front tension rods? i don't mind spending for the right stuff... the old civic had full camber adjustment... the money saved in tyres soon pays for parts!

The rears won't be camber adjustable. No-one does S14/15 rear camber adjustable coilovers nor pillowball mounts.

You'll probably be OK for the front. Only replace the front tension rods if standard adjustment isn't sufficient or you want to totally sort your suspension. At the rear you will 95% for certain need adjustable lower camber arms. By that I mean that 95% of the people who lower an S14/15 need them to get sufficient adjustment. If you lower aggresively, you will need rear adjustable toe arms too.

S15 suspension is the same as S14, except for spring and damper rates.
