Like i said i have stock "coilovers"
Coilover strut/shock is defined as a unit with the spring assembly mounted to and or above the absorber assembly so you understand what that means right!
Lets dance.......

I tried on wasting my breath on a complete idiot, whose thinks oem shocks and struts are "coil-overs" When you get real coil-overs the car handles way better than stocks, but you wouldn't know that, because you apparently have "stock" coil-overs. You're the one that looks like a fool. I guess my car has forced induction from the factory to, what the hell its fast right.

Both are old. I need new pictures and a video. Running a Racepack gauge cluster so looks like a indy car with full digital readout. Awesome shiftlights on it

Damn valve stem seals are worn out in my 5sfe
Not sure if I should replace the seals or just save up for a 3sge red top

I've always felt that way about Coilovers! Also the fact that rebuilding coilover sounds cool but what's the freaking turn around time...I could've ordered struts when I noticed there was a problem and had it rectified ASAP... I'm not sold on coilovers for everyday used Daily driven cars...I'll be installing Koni coilovers on my Dodge Shelby Charger but it won't be a DD...but will be setup for auto-x/street and fine tuned for the best ride/handling compromise....I haven't rode in too many coilover cars that I was pleased with on normal everyday streets and maybe that was because the person(s) who set it up didn't have a clue of what they were doing....Anyway I like aftermarket shocks/struts with moderately dropped springs....It gives the look and street handling I need..anyway that's my take on this Coilover subject!

I know to rebuild my head was cheap. I think it was like $150 to rebuild the head at my local machine shop. While your at it put some new cams in from web cam shafts and put some arp head studs on
Once you get cam's on the 5sfe it really opens up that engine. You literally will get 35 whp I **** you not. A bunch of MR2 guys dynoed and you see big results. Probably less of a hassle and cheaper then that 3sge red top. I bet the 5sfe with web cam shafts would dyno more power too.

Notice my poor maxima in the background. Luckily thats going to be back on the road this week even if tein takes there time. I am going to probably send them the passenger side strut next if that is looking kinda bad.

Thank you. I just got a new battery for my camera so I can probably post a new video soon.

LOL. Ya the AIM is a nice unit too. I will probably upgrade if this thing ever goes out. But I got it for a good price and it does everything I need it for.
Its awesome when you see the shift lights light up. Its programmed to my transmission ratio's so when I shift the gear number comes up, goes to zero when slowing down in neutral.
