New here! 5.5 gen coilovers question!

So I'm new here but I'm pretty knowledgable about cars, especially Maximas. But I have a question. I'm on a budget for coilovers and was looking at race land coilovers and they make them for 15 sentras(2000-2006) and was wondering if these coilovers would fit on my 5.5 gen maxima se?

No.

If you want budget coilovers, go with Megan EZ Streets.

Yes, get Tein Street Advance. I was able to get mine for 700 and then another 300 for all new oem strut mounts, bolts, washers, spacers, etc. So 1k total. They are amazing though!

You're looking at more than $100 more after new mounts/hardware.

Even if they did fit, why would you want Sentra suspension? you said your knowledgeable, so you should know that different spring rates would play a factor due to weight.

Yeah I never really thought to much about that factor. I just wish raceland made maxima coils!

I'd get new mounts. Doesn't have to be OEM.

You'd only need them if you got the Teins.

Don't go for cheap coilovers like Ksports or Megan Ez racing.

I'm using Teins Street Advanced Coilovers very happy with it but it can be pretty stiffness, doesn't bother me.

BC Coilovers is nice but those goes for $1,800.

Go for good well known brand coilovers. Don't go for lowest budget one.
