Yeah I can understand that.

For the S13/14 there are KYB adjustables that could probably be got for cheap

Spax will make you telescopic dampers or coilovers to your spec with any combination of fittings at either end. If I remember rightly they aren't that expensive either. I was going to look into getting some CSX coilovers made for the rear but I never got round to it.

Just search for Spax KSX for their custom dampers.


Edit - Try this link on for size

I have been trying to do a similar thing for, have been serching scrap yards & internet for a shorter struts for the rear have found a few but most have been off smaller cars which won't take the weight of the silvia think the best ffound so far is of a Saab rear strut.
