Installed my coilovers today (56k...don't bother)

[MaximA32]

So I installed my coilovers today. Got a TON of pics. Without further ado..

PERFORM THIS INSTALLATION AT YOUR OWN RISK!! DO NOT PERFORM THIS INSTALLATION WITHOUT THE PROPER TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT!!

Before the install.

And here are a few of the shop I work in. Right in front there is a Toyota Matrix Xrs with an AEM intake and Greddy exhaust.

Looks sweet, how's the ride?

[MaximA32]

Rides pretty good. Just need to wait for them to settle and I'll be able to tell. Funny part is, that's not even at the lowest setting. That's about halfway down, I've got another 1.5" till it bottoms out on the coilovers.

[00MaxSE]

Looks good. Lower them all the way.

[Rellik27]

looking good

[nsrZ32]

Looks really good man! Glad I was able to get you the coils and help out

[danielekfuj]

thats one helluva shop

kinda reminds me of my school shop...which ill have to go back to on monday. thanks

but the max looks tight

[NSR_s30]

Nice install. It's really good in person man. Next we'll have to do the Sentra's.

[Beancooker]

Sweet. Looks really nice. Gotta update us on how it rides...

[maxhopper]

Looks good Kenny! I look forward to hearing how you like the ride.

[MaximA32]

The ride is a lil rougher than I'm used to but the big cushy leather seats more than make up for it,

[nsrZ32]

The ride is actually really comfortable. I'm used to a stiffer race type setup so his seems pretty mild to me. Its certainly stiffer than stock, but its quite a nice happy medium.

[jltibbs]

yeah, i was going to say it must be a major difference. it was a big diff when i went from stock to illuminas, i can only imagine going from stock to tein coilovers. looks awesome. can't wait to get mine.

[NSR240sxe]

looks really good...saw it in person and rode in it rides nice

good work!

[brahmabull]

How long did it take from start to finish?

A larger set of wheels would really look great.

Maybe the 305z 18 inch 6 spokes. You can get them pretty cheap and they bolt right up with no spacers.

hello im new to the club! i have a question, i had my tien coilovers install by a nissan mech in his back yard. now when i make slow turns or turn the wheel whn the car is stopped i sometimes hear a spring popping sound. is there a solution to that? i would really like to solve that problem

[koukicody]

Those Tein basics? I'm thinking about getting those for my car (Miata).

Looks good, now you need wheels/tires

Welcome to NICO.

In your case, I would take it back to the guy who installed them.

I played tiddly winks and it took me about 2 hours. As for the Z wheels, any money is too much right now because Carlisle is on its way and I need to save. And 18s have too much rolling mass for my stock brakes and it's such a low horsepower car it would just weigh me down.

Yes, they're Tein Basics. See above for wheels/tires.

I need teh money now.Sell your wife or somthing and buy them, itll be worth it.

[MaximA32]

Don't have a wife. Well, I do, but it's sterling mist and in the garage.

[A.Tech]

Niiice man... I would love to see how they would look on my car with my new rims I am getting soon...

Also, How much did it cost you for all of them?

And where you buy them?

[wheelsspin]

Lookin' fly, son. It looks even better after you evened out the rear. That rake wasn't working on the Max. I thought the ride was awesome. I've been in quite a few dropped cars, and I'd say that is one of the smoothest. I still have all my fillings.
