Please post...just want to see what the car would look like on each and if there's really a big difference.

Look for...

Matt93Gxe or Chris91se sigs for Eibachs and I know Silvermax has Suspension Tech, but he's not on here much, so I don't know about those.

Hey Z, how do you like the KYB struts...I was thinking about getting them, I think I'm gonna go with the eibach/kyb set-up. I know everyone has the tokio or konis, but it a major price difference...

I like em

Allot of people say that they are almost direct stock replacements. I think they are allot stifer and offer a great value to those of us on a budget, as for the tokico's and the koni's; ive never riden in a car with em so i wouldn't know how they compare

How much do KYB struts go for? I worked it out on carparts.com and found that the price of Tokicos shipped (to TN) is only $236. That's combining 3 coupons from importhookup.com. If Tok's aren't that much more, then I would probably stick with them instead of risking on KYB.

I don't know if Carparts.com...

will let you use three coupons together! I tried that once and when it came time for the final order they hit me with the price and none of the coupons had affected it!?

Not a lot of difference between the Eibach and ST ride height. Can someone tell me why there's such a price difference?

DA-MAX,
You have to delete the cookie that says carparts.com from your harddrive in order to use multiple coupons. Like Chris said, you can do 3 separate purchases. It's cheating the system, but it's their system I guess

roman,
One possible reason for the large price difference could be the fact that Eibachs are progressive and ST's are linear. Another is just the name. Third could be that Eibachs are foreign (are KYB's US made?).

I'm spending soo much money on mods. It's terrible and good at the same time. Oh well, that's why I'm working this summer...

my guess is becuase eibachs are progressive...the other is the name...you'd be suprised what machinery out there uses their springs...

DA-MAX,
If you're interested in Sprint springs, then go to southwestautoworks.com. I'm sure you already know about them. I think they sell they're Sprints for around 135 shipped! Really really cheap...who needs a coupon?!

Lates.

Yeah...

I was gonna go with Impact Parts, they have 'em for $145 shipped, I just checked Southwest and it says $159 shipped(http://www.southwestautoworks.com/sprint.html#NISSAN), but I remember someones else saying that Southwest was once offering them for $99 + shipping a while ago, must have been a sale..

Sunday I finished my Tokico/Eibach setup. Its been two days now and I am impressed. I would not want any softer of a ride - this is very comfortable. Handling is great, corners @ 35mph and stuff(not always, just to test it out).

The rear install was pain tho.

KYB's at tirerack.com

I found the KYB's at tirerack.com ...the price was 51 for the front right, 51 front left, and 37 for the rear....And Shox.com quoted me 199.00 for the eibach springs....
