To excited to speak properly? here is my post i made in the 4th gen section reguarding this

Ok now first of all i only offered this as an alternative to what people have been buying currently and as for the price it is what i would pay if i outright purchase 10 sets of the same part number as a dealer which i have already have had my paperwork processed.Now as far as all the nay sayers at no time did i hype these up or put praise upon them all i can say truthfully is i have been to their LOCAL to me distribution house where they actually process the final product and i will explain how it works for coilover distributors.1 they receive blank bodies in from the manufacturing plant 2.they take the orders and and weld the mounting plates on them according to the application requested 3.they then charge and assemble the coilover with the required springs, mounts and hardware.now like i said before these look to be the same construction as my BC's and btw they informed me that 95% of the coilovers are processed this way to reduce overhead of product.so like i said if you want them I'm willing to work with it but if not you don't have to bash the product because it is obvious that no one here has ever had a set to pass judgment on them.besides what other coilover manufacturer do you know that will let you completely customize your set? different valving,spring rates and the availability of rear pillowball with camber adjustments and if i so choose i could even have them made in custom colors not just the Yellow,Orange and Blue.So its your choice about this product and like always there are going to be some a55holes who talk crap because they know no better but hey how many vendors on here will offer you some form of REAL pricing break on a product?better yet How many companies produce performance products for our cars?
wont be paypal will be a check put in an escrow account with a signed contract for payment because i'm only requiring 25% down until i have them in my hands and this is only if i dont have my site by then if i got it up and running you'll be able to pay thru it.and you wont be paying anything until i have paid for all 10 units out of my pocket and i get a completed invoice from xyz showing i paid in full.im doing things like this cause i got burned on 5 Megan racing exhaust i got for people and then they all backed down after i recieved the units now im stuck with them.so contract for payment YES! Paypal NO!

This is what I got.

This is more of what I was expecting.

This is from the altima harness I pulled from my 3.5. Notice how it has the battery power wire and everything with it. I assumed the maxima one would come like this too. Am I mistaken?

The 02-03s have the power going to the front chassis harness which has the fusebox on it (which IIRC has the gas pedal plug and that resistor you're about to make for it)
That altima is different for obvious reasons, different generation of car.
#816
Just the brake pedal.
I'm interested, just not at this moment, this would go great for le white nightmare to slam it and make it useless, because this car will have no road course aspirations in it's future (repaired subframe).

That is a complete 02-03 Engine harness yes.

Lesson #1 of the full swap, dont use anything from an altima other than the motor.
So how much would that front engine room harness be from you guys. By the way.
#820
you really had that K member ghetto welded back in?
#823
And Merovi, I feel horrid but you did misinterpret what I said. The previous owner had 6k miles on them, I put about 4k KM'S on them, which puts the total on these coils somewhere around 8500 miles. Not much difference, really, but it is information you should know.
Also, read around, guys aren't touching these coilovers until almost 50-60,000 The odd guy might be running rough/low and have to do a seal around half that but the bulk of guys are getting crazy miles out of htem for coilovers.
8500 is nothing for these.
Also need a dead pedal. PM me brooooooo

Any chance you could shed some light on what I should get from this site size wise? I'm thinking 4 of each the rubber spring seat and 4 of the silencer rubbers. Is that overkill? Should I just get one instead of the other? Do you know what sizes I need to get?
#828
I would do the same thing I did, get rubber some isolators from a chevy or whatever and cut them to size, install, be done.
Otherwise you're going to have to go out and measure your spring outside/inside diameter and match it up. Just get the ones for the top, the bottom already has them (he bewtter not have thrown those out!! Bottom is very important!!
#829
merovi, raise the damn car 3/4 inch, drive around and cross your fingers.
Also, where "new" is "new-ish", meaning it might have been 2-3 years or 10-20K since the install:
Axels are original.
Bearings are new (OEM).
Strut mounts are new (Moog).
Torque-Mount Bushings are new (ES)
End-links are new (Moog)
Tie-rod ends are new (Moog)
Ball-joints are new (Moog)

Tuner dont let that fool get you going with his slander we all know he drives a clown car anyway.and 99.5% here know how you take care of your things and respect them and wouldnt sell anything to anybody that was not proper.
#836
Yup.
You ain't got nuffin!
#837
K. I'll see whats up. I'm probably gonna end up snatching up a relay from the junkyard and adding it to my box. Then send those signals directly to wherever the hell they need to go. I'm gonna tally up how much this is costing me so far.
#838
I have to get ahold of the local full swapper expert he'll walk me through on what i need.
