why are they so cheap, i doubt they are high quality from that price unless they are offering an introductory deal or something!

they do look nice but $300 is dirt cheap for complete coilovers. I'm a firm believer of "you get what you pay for"

There are several brands of coilovers for 5th gen Maximas that most of you have never heard of. I have no idea how the quality of them are, although there are a few people that have a few different types...

I emailed him w/some questions, we'll see what he says. Maybe we could setup a GD on these?

They do "look" well made. As far as the seller, I haven't done business w/him before, but I know he's a nice guy. I've emailed him before about something else in the past.

I was thinking about bidding just to see how well they were made but since kloogy is bidding, I'll back off. Wouldn't want to outbid fellow Org member

Wasn't me... although I was thinking about it before buying ryanmc's ground controls...

if Kloogy says they're good though (if he wins, that is...) maybe another upgrade is in order...

As usual, shipping is Rip Off. I was about to bid, when I saw $39 only for the U.S. Meez in Canada. Advise when teh seller has been contacted. I'm very interested.

We definately have to get a group deal on this if this turns out to be a quality product. Has someone heard from the seller yet?

They always try to make extra profit off shipping. I was about to pick up a videocard untill I saw shipping for it. $40! I emailed him and he said shipping is cost of box, packaging, drving to post office, blah blah blah. I asked him if he went out to eat lunch too while on the way to the post office.

Shipping for the coilovers should be around $20 or less.

bidding is at 300 right now.. but that's no indicator of how much it will eventually sell for.... it might actually jump up to almost $1000... there's still two days left.... but if stays that cheap... i might be interested as well...might have to give up my tein/tokico combo....................

better than spring shock combo IMO since you can adjust ride height and adjust shocks to your street needs.

It would have been nice if the guy had given out a little more info. Hummmm...I wonder what the spring rates are? The dampening doesn't look to be adjustable but that might not be a problem, as long as the spring rates are matched appropriately.

I did a search on the internet and could find nothing on these things.... didn't even find another car forum where someone was using them...

if Kloogy's wheels fall off, then we'll know why...

I hear some of you grumbling about the cost of shipping... I live in Hawaii and to ship the same thing to me would probably cost me close to $100. Stop the *****in and pay the $40.

I got 19s with tires and had to pay $400 to ship them!!!!!

This seller is a very good person to deal with. I purchased a cat. back ehaust from him a few weeks ago. The quality was top notch and the shipping was very fast. He has the exhaust on there often and i got mine for $216 shipped. Im in the process of putting it on with the weather clears up some. The coil overs might surprise you on the good quality. I think they might tawian imported products that was the point of origin on the box my exhaust came in. Any way thats my 2cents.
