Who Has The Real Coil Over System?

Who has the real coil over system, the ones with the shocks and springs. What is the price of the system, and where to buy them.
Would it be cheaper to get GC coil overs and new shocks or the complete system?

Cattman has the whole thing.

And there are the new JIC's I think.

i got weapon r coilovers from JAY25 but u can get them brand new for 250 plus shipping...i also have kyb agx struts on the way which i payed 400 dollars for...so if i bought the coilovers new then i would hjave spent about 650 not including shipping....although you will need a camber kit and the weapon r coilovers can go lower than the ground control coilovers not sure how low the cattmans can go but they r expensive....

I heard AWFUL things about the Cattman's believe it or not. Someone at the Maxima meet in Orlando was telling me about it ... he said they squeak something FIERCE and he never had good luck with them ...

To the people with Weapon-Rs & GCs...

He said REAL coilovers. As in the full setup.

And yes clee is correct your choices are Cattman or JIC. The Cattman now has a Version 2 upgrade which includes better parts but I still here they not very good. Niterideer has them on his Ruby Max and sure the look good, but I don't know how fuctional they are. Also a rumor has gone around that they are nothing more than Senta coilover modified for the Maxima but I don't know about that

As far as the JICs I don't think anyone on this board has them and they are very rare. About $300-$400 more than the Cattman but apparently better. Do a search and you will be able to find more on both of these.
