what else must I do? I hear that some people have a clicking sound after replacing their springs..what must I do to avoid that? I hear something about a cartidge that needs to be changed also..My last question is..Is it that bad if I change the springs and keep the stock shocks in?

When I installed my Eibach's, I made sure that the spring is right side up (there is printed text on the spring) and made sure that the end of the spring is correctly indexed to the spring perch on the strut. Also, put it back together with the plastic sleeve around the bottom coil of the spring.

I would suggest that you closely inspect the rubber dust boots BEFORE you start the work. If you need to replace them, you can save some serious bucks by ordering them from Courtesy Nissan.

I did mine that way and I don,t have any handling problems with the car. Of course if I was trying to achieve maximum handling performance I would have bought a Corvette!
