How do the Weapon-R or Ground Control Coilovers compare to H&R or Eibach Springs, as look, ride comfortabilty, etc. Where can I get the best price on Coilovers. Do I need to get struts if i get coilovers?

Just think of it logically. Coilovers cost like $1000-$1800 while springs cost $150-$300.

Maxima's have such a huge wheel gap that anything less than two inches when you lower the car really isnt noticeable.. go with Sprint lowering springs or Intrax if you can't afford the coilovers.

Those 2 don't include the shocks/struts. They just go over you current struts. I think Cattman uses Konis struts(not sure). Perform a search on this subject. There have been ealier posts relating to this matter. If I remember correctly, One of the members had ground controls. Just forgot who.
I'd get coilovers instead of springs if I had the money. They're adjustable and perform better.

i bought the ground control and i like them alot htey are more expensive than others but they adjust much easier with one hand as opposed to having two wrenches to move the locking nuts up or down.

weapon R

weapon*R is like k-mart brand coilovers... they suck bad. GC is the way to go, ground controls go for about $385-395 for the maxima.
