Yes they are very good they use Eibach springs which you can choose what spring rates you want. I had them on my altima with tokicos and they were great. Don't get that ebay stuff it will the ride quality will be garbage.

Yo yo, anyone know where I can get an SR for like 37 bucks?
lmfao.

i'll tell you what i tell others in your shoes. how about you fix up your car first instead of trying to get it modified for FF4?

SR20's are readily available at your local walmart and sam's club. Sometimes you will find some stocked at cosco if luck permits, but imo it's better to get a b18c from your local ford dealership, much better motors

Then sell it now to someone who really loves and appreciates owning a 240. Flipping FTL.

They do exist, I have no experience with them.

But I will tell you when you sell this car advertised with "coilovers" you should make sure potential buyers know what they really are.

I'll buy it for $3K if its a manual transmission.

I live near antelope (Sort of) But I am down to buy it.

But just get some Tein S techs and GR2's if you dont want to sell your car.

LOL. This thread is outta control.

You get what you pay for. If you dont mind your car riding like ****, get the cheap ****. I can say that is one mistake "honda guys" get into. They buy a 240 thinkin its gonna be like the honda.

How much did you buy this "wrecked" thing for???? (im assuming WAY TOO MUCH!)

I got my busted *** convertible for $2400 and you couldnt even tell it was in a wreck. (salvaged title) How bad of condition is this thing in?
