Would love to hear from anybody and everybody with an opinion on the following:
I have found several springs to fit my 97 Q, so I would like to post the options here and would ask folks to give me their opinions and why they feel the way they do. I should preface this by saying that I have new shocks and struts installed now (less than 6 mos old), so not looking to get coilovers and I cannot have a dramatic drop as I live/drive in NYC where roads can be very unforgiving and punishing if you have too low a ride. But by the same token you need good handling here to help get through some ridiculous traffic and bad drivers
:1. Eibach Pro-Kit, Part # 6345.140 (thought I had a line on these twice in the past week but they turned out to be out of stock. I HAVE found one reliable source now, but they are in Japan and want $377 before tacking on another $120 in shipping charges, which made me look into the rest of these choices. They are also supposed to be for the Nissan Stagea RS Four Wagon, so not sure about fitment. The Part # is the same though);
2. Espelir Springs, Part # ESN149 (this is my leading choice right now as they may be available in the US and I have read some good opinions on them);
3. RS-R Ti2000, Part # not readily handy;
4. RS-R Half-Down (standard, not titanium);
5. GReddy BL Comfort Down (probably the most expensive I have seen out of my choices and probably more for track applications than street);
5. Zoom Down Springs (I know virtually nothing about this company or their products);
6. Tein (I see that they are meant more for the 6 cylinder CIMA and lower than I'd like) ;
7. JIC X-Magic (ride may be too low again?);
8. 5Zigen (more for racing application?)
There may be more and if so, I would appreciate whomever can tell me about them. I am leaning towards Espelirs or RS (the Ti seem to be more available) than anything else. Would Eibach's be worth paying almost $500 for? I doubt it, but again, would love to hear opinions.
Thanks all!
