    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.

    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.

    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/...2%20Fronts.jpg
    http://www.slebidia.addr.com/images/...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.

    excellant choice. Skunk2 or ingalls would be ur best bet for camber adjustments.
