don't get that crap. if you're gonna do it, get some ground controls on some koni's.

^ is 100% right.

"Coilover spring kits" are crap & will kill your struts too because of the crazy spring rates. But if you must, you can put them on. Most come as a sort of "kit" which just gives you spring + threaded portion to adjust height via spring pre-load, which is another woozy.

Much more trouble than it's worth. If you don't care about ride quality, or performance, and just want low low low for the show show show, go right on ahead.

its jus for now..cuz i already bought it..and cant realli sale it..but do u no how to install them for the front...and the bck?

[onosqv]

should be self explanatory if what they sold you was for a 240sx...

just pop off the old spring, put the sleeve & coilover spring on... not much to it.

If you are still confused, probably some pics of the actual thing will help.

But really... isn't much complication to installing it.

but u no how the front stock springs are much larger than the back..the kit came with springs about the same size..not much difference in them..jus the wiehgt it can hold and the front sleeves are longer than the back..

pictures... otherwise, i can't be of any further help.

On a real coilover kit, the springs are also significantly smaller than stock (diameter wise). You have to make sure they have all the brackets to properly mount to ur shock & strut mount.

ummm no. i fooled around with those just for the hell of it and for the laugh because me and few of my friends were wondering if it really was a real good cheap way of lowering your car. yeah as soon as you lower the car back down to the ground, the spring completely compresses together. it has no weight tolerance, and also the spring doesnt seat right, i have 95 240 and the oem front springs are way larger than the rear, not sure if its the same case with the older model or not, but regardless the springs off of ebay are crap, they dont fit correctly and are not strong at all, send them back to the guy and tell him they didnt fit and you want a refund before you wasted your money.
