tokico illuminas are supposed to be really good adjustables.

don't get them from NOPI or a local shop, unless you have a very good hook up at a shop, it's gonna be waycheaper to get them online (plus no taxes if you order from a shop outside of Ga)... that seems like it would be a good daily driver/mild autoX set up, don't forget to slap on a set of good tires on that sucker, as that's the MOST important suspension mod.

i have had them for almost 2 months, and they are great. Forgot about Koni, dude that said it up thre was right too, konis are good, both the adjustable nad on adjstable, but it also depends on your spring rate

I'd buy Omni Street coilovers if i were you.
The stuff you mentioned is pretty much garbage, and www.passwordjdm.com sells them for about 675 shipped.

KONIs are better, and you should get those if you can (they're a little more money, but I think worth it in the long run)... but as far as the illuminas being crap, whoever said that is just uninformed.

Yeah, price really doesnt bother me. Let me know of a place to buy konis at.

Does that seem like a good price? I kinda want to lower it a bit more...i dunno

That is a dead middle of the road average price for eBay.

500 for the struts 230 for the springs, you can possibly get them cheaper if you buy them seperatly but then you may have to pay shipping which could equal it all out.

Yeah, but this is going to be my daily driver, i really dont need coilovers. And i need to keep my alignment so i dont go through tires like mad.

coil overs are over rated for a daily that you will never change the settings on... koni is one of the best struts out there and eibach are no joke, imo that is one of the best street set ups around.

Bishop
08-02-2005, 11:36 PM
Cool, so eibach springs with koni's. Thats what i'll be getting then.

Spyder
08-02-2005, 11:37 PM
ask anyone that has had them or ridden in a car with them... personally im going with the KYB AGX's cause that is like 100-150 cheaper, and i dont track my car :)

KONIs are probably the best OTF shocks out there hands down... as far as the D2s go a decent amount of Nissan folks use them, they're decent for the price, but from reviews they (like alot of low end jdm stuff) tend to be oversprung/underdamped. here's a shock dyno courtesy of honda-tech http://www.slebidia.addr.com/images/tech/D2jpgs/D2%20Fronts.jpg
http://www.slebidia.addr.com/images/tech/D2jpgs/D2%20rears.jpg
not very digressive in its curve and on the rear shock the difference isn't that big amongst the different damping levels... but still, for the price they're not bad, up to you if you go the conservative/proven route of KONIs or D2s.

i agree with the eibach KYB setup if your going to go with springs. Koni is such a good shock and eibach springs are known all over for being great quality.

Thanks. As soon as i make some money....oh by the way, anyone need wheels or panels or anything on their car painted? hehe....But as soon as i get the money i will def. be deciding on the Eibach/Koni or Eibach/KYB....Leaning towards the Eibach/Koni right now.

if you're into performance don't buy eibach's line of lowering springs... they're too soft for the drops they provide, great quality but not the best choice for performance. Buy some stiffer springs that don't lower as much, remember suspension travel is your friend.

he already said he isnt going for aharcore setup, i think eibach will be a good choice for him IMO

i bought my illuminas (shocks and springs) off of ebay for like 428...externally adjustable...1.5" in the front..1.75" in the back..or maybe its the other way around. but they are awesome.

Bishop
08-18-2005, 11:11 AM
Alright....i've been shopping around and im going to get koni sport shocks (yellow ones) and eibach sportline springs. Should be around $700 then gotta get a camber kit.
