A’PEXi S1 coilovers have adjustable damping and  independent adjustment of spring preload and ride height.  This ensures adequate droop travel even when the car runs a low ride height.

In the front Ikeya Formula tie rods help give the car greater steering angle when used with factory S14 tie rod ends.  Intec Racing knuckles also give more steering angle needed for those backward entries.  S14 front lower control arms are used for their longer length to get more negative camber and for a wider front track.

SPL tension rods allow caster adjustment.  The Tanabe anti sway bars have been replaced with stiffer 3 way adjustable Progress Group parts.  The Progress bars are probably the best bars for the S chassis on the market and are used by all the other top S chassis cars on the FD circuit.
