Coilovers? ...New struts?
Hey guys,
I just bought the Eibach Pro Kit and I was wondering how well they are treating you all who have them.
Also, my buddy who is the master mechanic at the Nissan dealership 'round my way, suggests to sell them and save up for coilovers.

Should I sell the Pro Kit and save up for coilovers? Should I look at getting new struts with the Pro Kit?
Thanks for any eventual help!
P.S. I have an 09 Maxima SV Sport Package...

You can use your OEM struts with the Eibach springs. I never heard of people having problems with Eibach+OEM struts. I have Eibachs and it's a big difference from the OEM springs since I have an S. If you want to go lower + loose the wheel gap for good, go coils. Either way, both would make your Max look good especially if it has upgraded wheel

Whats up Sean. I have BC coilvers i bought on the ORG, and Nissan installed them. They are very adjustable, when it comes to ride hight and stiffness. If your going to be racing or doing high speed cornering these are cool. I outrun euros all the time. Its funny when those guys think they are going fast in turns, then you pass them like they are parked.. they were 900.00 bones though, thats the part i hated. Its driver or owner pref though
