Why are people even asking this question any more? Megan has them IN the USA for under a grand. psMAX is going to be releasing theirs soon and they're a JDM brand with a US operation. So as of now, you have one domestically available for under 1g option with another soon to follow.

Ok, I see. Last I heard, Megan actually had them in stock after being out for a few months lol... As for PSM, I'm not sure what they'll cost, but even if it's a little over 1k, it's a deal still.

Any options that aren't a weld in? I hate that the hub it built into the strut. Terrible design lol

Max, Megan and BC all appear to be the weld in fronts.

Sure, options you don't have to weld cost you at least 2x the price ($2k plus), but Buddy Club, Insurance, JIC (Japan) all have them that way, expect to wait up to 3 months to get them and you have to send your cores in. IMO, it's a complete waste since the labor to weld them in is minimal, and you have to return the cores, so you lose your "going back to stock" option either way (if that's why you don't want to deal with simple welding).

That's exactly why, I like keeping my OEM shit in case I wanna ride squishy again.

I can weld it myself I'm not worried there. Guess I'll try and track down some hubs and shit so I can just swap it in and keep my OEM.

RAWR, I really don't wanna drop it on springs. Maybe I'll just bag it lol

Why not just do the s13/14 swap? If you don't want to keep abs you can do it for pretty cheap.

I don't want to collect all the parts, don't have time or patience for it.

Besides, S body swap is like 2k+ or so I've heard. I can get Megans for $900 and hack up the front suspension.

Where the hell did you even find Stance coils for less than a grand lol

Anyone care to lay out everything I need? Or point me in the direction of the DIY page? I think I saw one on Nico, I'll go search for it there.

this is the s conversion parts list i put together for someone else a while ago:

s13 coilover w/ s14 front lower mount, y33 upper mounts
s14 lbj
s14 tie, tension, toe, traction, and ruca arms
s14 5 lug hub

you could also just do bc racing "extreme drop" y33 coilovers to go lower, but you'd have to cut and weld. they are rumored to be making a full spindle option but it hasn't been released.
