Hey guys! So if any of you read my old tread, you know that my eibach springs snapped =( I'm now considering getting the BC coils but have a few questions to all you out there who has it before I go with this!

1. How much do you think I would get back for the Eibach Springs (they are sending me the replacement for the front two).

2. I live in Canada and unfortunatly Winter is a major problem for lowering cars here lol. I therefore have to raise my car during winter. So how easy/hard is it to adjust the coils? Is it just a matter of taking the wheels off and adjusting or is there more?

3. Let's say it IS easy for me to adjust the coils higher during the winter myself. Will the Salt in the winter rusting the coils be a problem if I continue to adjust them up and down every year?

4. Anyone know a good site/cheap place to buy them?

Any feedback is much appreciated!!! Thanks again


P.S. On a side note, anyone in the Toronto/GTA area up for a meet???

They're 999usd, but I remember someone from canada had a discount for duty fees etc. And if your wanting to raise it high and low more then twice a year, you'll need an alignment each time

I have D2 coils and you can definately adjust them higher or lower, but I guess it would depend on your def. of EASY???
Mine were not eazy but I was not using the proper tool and I was doing it all by hand....
What rims and tires do you have??
Cause if you have 18"s even with coils a small wheel gap will still be there, however you car will be almost touching the pavement... lol just ask darryl

I'm in the same boat. Putting my OEM springs back on soon with OEM rims for the winter, rage. I'm in Nova Scotia (you probably have heard about the roads here)... :/ I dunno. Toronto shouldn't be too bad for coils, I say do it and put up with getting it aligned each time. It's the same for me with the springs, have to align it as well.

As for easy, well yeah I agreed with David, it depends on what you call easy. Once you do it a few times it'll be fine, but it's not too too bad.

I've heard great things about both sets so I would just get the cheaper set honestly. If you find a cheap set, let me know as well.

No, those aren't. I went to Circuitmotorsports.net and bought the 07+ Altima ones - just under $1000.

For those of you familiar with Texas weather, would I be in any danger if I were to not raise my car during the winter? What happens if you don't raise it?

i went to the site but it says that your account has been suspended, ill go to the bar and type it in myself.
anyways once i get them, ill let you know if they fit or not. then im going to have to go through all the trouble of returning them if they dont :bs:
