Hey everyone, I have recently been shopping around for suspension pieces for my 1992 240SX. I was wandering aimlessly across the procarparts.com parts catalog and I found a set of "coilovers" for my car for $99.95 ( the link is Coilover Kit )Anyways, I am torn between this kit and the TEIN Kit for $60 more. I am wondering if these "coilovers" are any good, or if I should instead delay my suspension purchase for yet another 2 weeks until the necessary cash is on hand for the TEIN Kit. If anybody has heard anything about these, please let me know. BTW, I have purchased a cold air intake from PCP and they didnt let me down, I just want to know whether or not I'm gonna need some vaseline for buying these or not

the TEIN Kit is not a set of Coilovers, just springs, here is the link TEIN Spring Kit

Like I said, they say that the $100 kit are coilovers, and I just wanna know first off, are they really, and which of these two should I buy?

Thanks Again

will people ever stop using the word "coilovers" for just some springs with a sleeve. and also springs are not a "kit" they are just some damn springs for god sakes.

and uh 100 for springs? hmmm you get what you pay for.

Well, I wouldn't buy them, More than likely garbage, but if you go with new lower springs you're gonna want new struts as well....your back will thank you!

The springs with sleeves are junk I helped a buddy put them on his car and they suck do not waste your time and money just get some springs and shocks or save your money and get real coilovers. IMOP
