guess i'll order the leather then

 

Fock...

Okay so how many GENUINELY interested people are there?

Someone should look up all the ricers in the past month or so who posted up asking about coilovers and give them this link...

 

Ah didnt see the list dealie on the first thread...

Randy put me down...

I should have the money (I assume this would spill over into the summer) when the time comes

 

but they want to pay ricer prices for the stuff. they refuse to pay more than $500 for coilovers or $600 for a turbo kit. (but they'll pay $1500 for a bodykit).......

 

I am But I honestly do not have cash, I would be on it in a heartbeat, even more to help 3rd genners. But after 2200 on the swap and 1700 for rebuild, I am tapped for a while.

 

heh....not even that!!! and it was even less than that!!

 

If you have chatted with Alex before, shoot him a email and see what he says. Nothing to loose at this point I guess.

 

how much more would it be if we could get 10 people?
Try to see if CustomMaxima would buy a few sets(I doubt it but you never know)

 

man i need suspension badly unless this is a sure thing and soon i may have to be off the list and ill use the money for something else ie konis and eibachs or konis and intrax. cause the ride is hoppy like in those old school dr dre rap type videos except its not intentional or to look cool. Its because the front stock ones are really worn and or possibly blown already.

 

If this is still going, put me on the list. I dont want to see this die, and I am sick of my ****in tok/eibach combo.

If this is already dead...well ****.

 

OK, you are added.

Still waiting to hear back from the larger companies to see if they will buy some stock.

 

Count me in!!! Just let me know when and where I will have to send the money!! Been looking for a coil-over set up forever. Not really sure if I can afford to do this but what the hell count me in as one of the 15!! Never know if this kind of deal will come around ever again.
My only concern is replacement struts/shocks for this system. Will they be offering them? Could you also let me know the price with the camber kit? I have 18's and would like to use my tires to their full potential!! They aren't exactly what you would call cheap if you know what I mean!

If the Maxima companies online really give a rats a ss about us Maxima owners, they would buy atleast 1 or 2 sets.

SouthWest Autoworks
CustomMaxima
MaxxTunning
etc...

If they dont atleast buy 1 or even 2 then they dont care...I think they only care about 4th gens and just make money when it is convenient for them, on the 3rd gens.

 

but look at the way people on here act when a good deal comes around...personally I can see why companines like SWA and CustomMaxima wouldn't pitch in because as soon as you announce a price people don't pay up or say "blah, blah...that costs too much"!!! its unfortunate, but a REGULAR occurance on this forum. people on this board are gonna have to get away from saying "why does it cost so much" and start realizing that quality demands a higher price sometimes.

 

yup thats the biggest problem I think. People want a cool product but they dont want to pay for it. Now you tell me where the profit is in that. I dont own one of those companies but if I did I wouldnt do a product "just because I care about a certain car" but I would do it TO MAKE MONEY...thats the bottom line. Now I dont mean gouge people with extremely high prices but I would like to make money if I made a product.

Thats just me though since I like to feed my family and all.

 

How would the handling be comparable to a max with sprints, struts, stage 1 and 2 SFC, fstb, and a front and rear sway bar set be? I really want to help out the community if we finally have a chance to get these. However, if I can have a better quality ride for much cheaper, I'm not really sure. With that said, I'm still a maybe.

BTW, black on black leather VE's are the best. Especially when they are five speeds

 

you mean black on tan

 

a coilover setup is really about THE best suspension you can have. The handling is superior to any other spring/strut combo. I would imagine a coilover + FSTB + swaybars would be the ideal combo for daily driving. I've never experienced the SFC's so I can't comment on those. Added weight is something those who are looking to race don't need.

I'm rambling...

 

I agree with Klown.

Also, how long do coilovers usually last? dont they wear out like struts? then what do you do? by new ones?

Honestly, if I was in a good financial position right now, I would pay, I dont mind getting what I pay for. I can agree with most here, on that scheme of things, I put up with the same thing everyday. You get what you pay for!

 

the ones I have seen have removable shocks similar to what Koni has for our struts.

not sure if thats how ours would be but I assume it is

 

I guess these just aren't for me. I'm really just looking for a low ride height and some cornering ability. I think I'll just go with Intrax then.

Really, I do have more than enough to pay for these in full, but that would leave me no money for all the performance mods I'm planning on. 14s dont come cheap, and neither do coilovers. Sorry guys

 

Ride height on these will be lower than any spring/strut combo you can get. up to 3" drop, and of course the handling will be worlds better.

This comes at a price of course, but I would think its well worth it. Tokicos are really not good enough (Ive gone through two sets of rear struts already, and one set only lasted 12 hours), and Koni's are gonna split the difference in cost between a tok/intrax setup and these coilovers.

 

coilovers have what everyone wants, you can be low low, you can be high, and still have the best handling.

 

Can we get a price on only ten sets? instead of 15 if we can get that many

 

Why doesnt Cattman purchase a few sets? He just doesnt want anything to do with it or what? He could always sell them down the road.

 

he's making them. he wants the loot to R&D and produce them.

 

Am I correct to assume this did in fact turn out to be a bust?

For shame 3rd gen owners.... for shame.

 

 

the problem is a few people here rarely push their rides to the limit. others have limited income that doesnt allow stuff like this. Personally, I dont autocross, drag or other. I just drive fast from point A to B. I feel that to an expense like this has to be justified...give reasons why you would ever want a set of coilovers. I have weighed the pros and cons and unfortunately, the cons are more plausible and more in number than the pros. That's the way I feel it should be approached. If you feel the absolute need for coilovers, bite the bullet, gather 5 people and go talk to R&D. They should be willing to make at least 5 for slightly higher instead of going through a middle man resulting in a markup.(not burning any cables here)

 

I finally got a summer job so I'll be down (dont start till June 9th though)...

So if this spills out to the summer count me in...one person prolly wont make much difference though

 

hi guys i agree if yout can get a price stright from R&D to do it would be cheaper to get and then maybe more people would get in . write now i have added up prices for my struts and springs setup came out to about $800 , but i would be willing to upto $1000 for my setup
if R&D can better the deal i will thickin the pot

 

R&D??? what are you guys talking about??

 

R&D is that the company that cattman has hooked up with to produce the coilovers if thats not correct ,sorry i misread the previous thread .

 

Err R&D usually means 'research and development'... (ie the research and development behind a new product)

I dunno where you guys got R&D as some company

 

I speak from experience when I say GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
It was hard enough to get ten for the hood.
