New Coliovers Links and Pics (56K Dont Even Try!)

OK, I have been looking for a good suspension and something that will be worth putting on the car. What I don't understand is why are these things priced so low when Eibach is selling them for $300 or more. Here is what I am talking about....

Here is the LINK for the first one


The second LINK...


And the third choice.


Actually here is the last choice


So if I got these, what would I need other than some good shocks (Tokico)?

sadly aparently there is another Maxima driver trying to win this auction as well. As I'm sure you'll see when more replies appear, most coil overs setups (if not all) under $500 will result in a bad ride quality and poor quality product.

I would love to have coilovers myself on my car but those ebay coil overs are nothing but a bad idea. I'd suggest if you can afford high grade coil overs (Tien or D2s) go with those if not then a low spring setup would be a better alternative (s-tech and AGX or Illumina).

Kinda like Mercedes selling a compact car (C230) for $29,900 whereas Kia sells a compact car (Rio) for $9995.

As far as i'm concerned your suspension is a safety device just as much as it is a performance enhancement. Why risk so much for $300. And even if you buy the cheap set of springs you will want to replace them because they will suck.

- none of the above. if your going to get coilovers get quality ones (which usually means nothing under $800) Either Teins/D2's/ (JIC's if money is no issue). Otherwise go with a good adjustable spring/strut combo. Suspension is not something you wanna go cheap on.

It's a warning for people with a slow dial-up connection. Warning them that there are a lot of pictures or big pictures. That you might not want to click on the thread because it will take forever to load.

The ONLY sleeve coilover system I would consider in Ground Control. I've used them on a few cars and been pretty happy with the results ( If they ride to harsh, you can get pretty much any spring rate you want from Eibach/GC). But when you have the option of the Teins for ~800, it doesnt seem like a great deal.
