do not get cheap (aka ebay) coilovers, you will regret it.

I'd try to get a few more bucks ($600ish) and go with either a quality spring and adjustable shocks (Tokico Illumina's or Koni's) or get Ground Controls and get a non-adjustable shock. I don't know the prices offhand but i know my eibach/tokico setup ran me $575 a few years ago and i love it. My friend has ebay coilovers and freaked out when he rode in my car because you could hit a crack in the road and not feel like your car was falling apart.

i agree with this. i've had both cheap and quality. (cheap right now)


oh well, the rebuild has begun, so i'll be researching the type of suspension to suit my needs soon.

I agree with everyone else you get what you pay for. eBay coilover are going to be cheap and they will bounce your teeth out of your head. A nice Eibach spring and a good shock like Tokico would be a great idea and they aren't terribly expensive. JMP.

well if it makes any difference im going to be doing some wood runs theres a sick road with lots of corners that goes to my house and i loveed being able to blast around them with my old 240sx w/tein SS, so i mean id love coilovers if i can get a set for a reasonable price.

but springs and adj. shocks are also considered since this will be my daily driver and i dont want anything too stiff because there are quite a few shitty roads around here.
