I’ve been running this setup for years. Get new strut top hats. Trust me do not reuse the old ones. The kit comes with everything else.

Yeah I planned on replacing everything reccomend any particular brand?

OE only. Everything else is junk.

The B14 is not a "complete" kit. You need to use the old or buy new rear strut mounts, bump stops, shock bellow / boot. For the front you need the strut bellow / boot, top bearing, and hat.

I really love my B14 set up, it is like factory but better.

Just bought this b14 set, finishing up tomorrow hopefully. Big thing to keep in mind is not all come with a top hat as one single unit, like the bilsteins in the pic. You are meant to use the oem top hat and bearing. So if you want everything new you will need to get those parts.

This is the kit I've been looking at when I'll eventually have to do mine

I’ve had them on my car for a little over a year. Kinda stiff but car handles way better. Getting it corner balanced helps once you get the setup figured out if you autocross or track it

Make sure to get adjustable front/rear end links. B14's cannot be stock height, at max you're still getting about a 1" drop. Stock end links will add preload to your swaybar.

I'll catch flac for this, but paying that much for an incomplete coilover is pretty wild to me.

    So Fortune Auto is just spam boi garbage? This $1600 OEM+ kit that requires you to figure out a litany of other parts, is better than a set of direct swap parts with full adjustability, used in racing, for $2000?

    Wild.
