I was just wondering if you guys could give me a little help on buying shocks. I'm currrently riding on used eibach's, bought from OgreDave, on stock GXE strusts w/ over 70k on them. I am in dire need of new shocks and my car bounces dangerously on the freeway and my girlfriend always complains of headaches now. I was doing a lil hw and I want to pair the eibachs w/ the 5-way adjustable tokico illuminas. Should I buy they off of www.customenterprise.com, Brian Cattman's GD here on the org, or ebay, and heres the ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33590

Thanks guys

 

Or better yet these guys, they are very reputable and free shipping! http://www.southwestautoworks.com/

 

hmmmm....the website seems to be down. Are the prices cheaper then what I posted on ebay?

 

I believe they are a little more but reputable! I know guys on the Group deal try'd email the ebay seller when their deal got hung up due to availibilty but got no response!
Ultimately it's your choice, good luck, but I agree with you... you are on the right track Illuminas seem to be the current flavor these days

 

yeah, I have heard nothing but good stuff from southwestautoworks.com. They have good service and will treat you right.
The cheapest I have seen the Illuminas new was like $425 in a group deal, and I don't know if that ever actually came into being.
You can sometimes find them used if you look often enough.
I did.

 

is the southwestautoworks site down? Or am i typing the url wrong? Wut do u guys think of the ebay offer?

 

I guess their site is down.
I am not able to pull it up either.

 

There's also a GD going for like $450 shipped. People who have ordered stuff through it seem to be happy.

 

your best bet is to go with the group deal (http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=322033) at $455 shipped 2nd day air.

that ebay seller would be the best choice if you didn't live in CA.

or you can go with Cattman's group deal, whatever ends up being lower.

 

kv2, u the man! Is that link old or can i still order it today? The reason is my gf's gonna buy my the illuminas so I want to get them asap before she changes her mind! Your link is cheaper than Cattmans, and I didn't see the additional sales tax for california residents. Yes, it does cost to live in the best state

 

it seems to be active still as the thread's still getting replies.

You can try calling or messaging him if you have AIM.

 

Last week I bought a new suspension kit from a vendor on ebay. The kit contained illumina struts and tokico springs. I paid $550 which included shipping. The package arrived promptly and the items were perfect. As a side note, the set up works perfectly on my 97 SE, rides smooth, and minimized that ugly fender gap. I think the sellers id was jdmwerks, but cant recall.

 

That's good to know, I've been wondering if anybody had a good experience with them.

 

well a set of 4 for a 97 max is only 299 shipped thats one hellof a deal from southwestautoworks. Im glad I read this thread Cause i need a set of these too. Whats the best springs to group with these?

 

doh i was looking at the hp my bad. there $530 a set.

 

Rears are $160 shipped at southwestautoworks. Don't know about the fronts.
