Looking for Adjustable Coilcover for my R
I am currently looking for some decent coilcovers for my R. I want to raise it up for winter time and lower for the summer. Nothing too fancy or too cheap.
Anyone has any recommendations? Must I need a camber kit?
how much am i looking at as far as labor goes?

i think for a basic quality coilover for a resonable price you cant go wrong with omnipower. then there always tein or JIC for a little more money, but very good products also.

I picked up the Tien Flex Setup , i like them alot, you can lower the car from the shock so that you still have the full spring rate ride is a little rough but my car is really low, im planning to raise it i paid 1200 for them,
i will also say that you pay for what you get, if you dont want to spend that much ground controls are great.
main reason that i went with tien was because i wanted good quality and didnt want to buy junk for it.
just my 2 cents

Labor??? Install coilovers is ******* cake. Jeez man if u can't even put those in yourself I would suggest that you prbably don't need them. If u just want to go lower get some springs in stock shocks.

Why don't you guys follow the same advice given in that video....
IF YOUR POST ISN'T GOING TO ADD ANYTHING, DON'T POST
that said... don't buy into the JDM hype, one of the best setups is ground control coilovers and koni shocks...

If he has the money and wants more, id go for more. Great setup, but ride on some N1s and something and let me know what you think afterwords.
Also, i suggest Counter Weighting

Corner weighting?
Yes, corner weighting is a good idea.

I've seen Ground Control " Sleeved Springs" ( which everyone mistakens for coilovers) break the sleeves by crossing thread.
It depends the kind of motorsports you're into. Something like that would be good for drag but i think if you're looking for high competition track driving, the tunability of the TIEN HA's are great. Even the Apex N1's are good. Look into the money you want to spend and the type of spirited driving you want to do, then make a good choice because just a spring and shock setup is good if you're down with just upgrading the stock stuff but if you're looking for real tunability and adjustments, look into a set of real full blown coilovers. They will cost more but if it suits your driving and competition more, it will be worth the money.

Re: Looking for Adjustable Coilcover for my R (Nvious R)
I have Tein NA coilovers and I love them, amazing performance and stiff ride. The only problem that I have is that there are a lot of streets in my city I can't drive down due to bumps and me wanting to keep my header on my car
