I've never heard of the brand... so that may or may not say anything about their quality. I would be suspicious that they claim they can lower your car from zero to 4 FEET!!!!

A brand new set of v-spec II coilovers (adjustable springs, will lower a car from 0' - 4') for 95 or up 240sx. Made in Japan, great quality comes with all hardwares for easy install. selling because I have no longer need it (have an extra set of springs for my car ^_^). sorry for the bad picture (it kinda dark i know >_<) item sold as is.

Also... these may require you to chop your stock dampers (shocks) a bit. And, once you put this type of "coilover" on your stock dampers you will greatly reduce thier effective life. For $50 you're going to get what you pay for.

On a side note... there is an EXCELLENT group buy going on in the Parts and Equipment forum for D2 full coilovers. These are the real deal... they are a complete unit on all four corners. Adjustable shocks, adjustable ride heigth, and shock that are DESIGNED to work with the springs. They are a lot more expensive than this ebay thing... but the quality and the complete package is well worth it

These coilover are the ones sold by VIS.... Ill save you some money by letting you know that they suck... Had them on my SI as a graduation present. All four shocks were blown within 10,000 miles from simple daily driving... The ride was pretty bouncy, not stiff at all. To top it off, my front passenger side coilover decided to screw itself down after a while. And if you havent already guessed, I ended up with a huge hole in my fender lining from the tire rubbing on it

When it comes to cars, you almost always get what you pay for.

i have some **** just like that. friend bought them to get a better idea of what his car would look like when he got a real drop. A) they dont fit on stock 240 struts B) they suck so much he gave them to me for free

but hey, if you need some adjustable coil sleeves then you get some for $50 right there. you are real springs and some fabrication away from custom coilovers ;)

I AM A VIS DEALER, AND I SOLD HUNDREDS OF THESE, I WILL TELL YOU DONT BUY THEM, THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE NISSAN APPLICATIONS BLOWING SHOCKS, NOT WORTH IT, JUST GO WITH THE FULL COILOVER SETUP.

Wow... there you go... right from the source practically. I don't honestly think it's just a problem with these coilovers. Anytime you lower the ride height of your vehicle on stock shocks... you are going to ruin them rather quickly.
