cheaper alternative to jic's and tein coilovers. Way better then regular lowering springs in my opinion. It works for me...LOL!

Yup, I took rob van dam's advice a while back and got these coilovers on my 2k2 with Koni adjustables and I love them. The ride is much more stiff than stock but you'll get use to it fast. Its not as noisy as some people might say. Having the adjustability is great, especially for the price. Just make sure you use them with good shocks.

good for show since you can lower your car alot....but not all that better than lowering springs as far as handling's concern....

if you want coilovers, save up and get either the JIC or the TEIN(yes, TEIN!!) TEIN just released their Super Street Dampers for 00+ Maximas.

if you want just springs, go with one of many choices from Eibach, Sprint, H&R, Maxspeed or TEIN....

Yeah as for handling your probably better off with lowering springs. Making turns with bumps in it can be a little scary. I've had Apex springs on my '99 max and they took corners much better than the coilovers do on my 2k2.

uh...i was referring to as the Ground Control...not other coilovers....if you have a true racing Coilover suspension, it'll handle much better than lowering springs and shocks combo.
