Could take another year or who knows, maybe you should opt for the Eibachs?

Nismo suspension??? Probably a good while. That would entail a Nismo car to be made. Like the Nismo 350z suspension wasn't available until the Nismo 350z was produced.

nismo? bah!

You should be calling tein from time to time expressing interest as some of us do. i think there are quite a few of us that would throw down for tein adjustable coil overs right now. as far as the nismo's go, you might as well grab up the eibachs because nismo hasn't dropped sh*t for the coupe yet besides the exhaust and that was a long time ago.

yea man, everyone should start bugging tein so that they can get us some springs and coilovers. I waited, sent them an email and they said they needed a car for R&D and then I find out they said the same thing to another person 3 months before I sent that email. Last I heard, Tanabe and Tein are coming out with springs and coilovers. Getting pretty irritated with this waiting and that eibach drop isnt nuff for me......

Gauranteed Nismo will just be using someone else's stuff. They don't make anything for themselves.

Intakes= AEMSuspension= EibachExhaust= Don't know...

So you might as well just the Eibach's and save the money and time wasted.

I believe you are right.

Is stillen going to make "endlinks" front or rear?

and the stillen exhaust is what i like due to this little quote "Mileage gains during highway travel can be expected as you cruise at steady speeds."

Not to take away from STILLEN, but, Racingline has front and rear endlinks made for our coupes. Here's the thread about it.

Totally agree. However, STILLEN doesn't make endlinks, nor will they be in the near future. That's all I'm saying
