I posted this on December 8th but here's the 411 and it ain't good

Well guys, I've got bad news.

Todd called me back and told me that they WON"T be doing any after market shocks for our car. In fact, he said that they had already done R&D for the altima, specifically on the SER. However, early this year, Nissan decided to pull the plug on the project thus not producing the shocks. With the high price of tooling and whatever else needed to make the FSD, a joint venture with Nissan was crucial to make this happen..but....

To make this happen, there needs to be at least a couple of thousand orders which I doubt they would get from here.

Oh well back to the drawing board

I'm bummed now

Well we NEED someone to make us shocks. The Eibach springs are great but the OEM shocks won't hold up forever with the aftermarket springs, especially if you're driving on particularly rough roads and such. I thought I read a while back maybe KYB was going to make shocks for us? What's the deal? It's really a bummer that the Koni prospect fell through.

[psi101101]

how long you think our OEM shocks are gonna hold for??25,000---45,000 miles?

[legend_217]

Let say oem shocks without drop will last long for 50k miles, but with a drop it will be long for 30k or 35k.

[mcheddadi]

well, we "COULD" fund the thing ourselves with KONI if Nissan doesn't want to step up.

with a good amount of people like 25 doing a GB of sorts25 x 750$ = 18,750$ thats a good amount to get them to take measurement on a donator car and then have one of their enginer analyze it and makes us some dampers.

I say someone (moderators *wink**wink*, tyler, brian, blake, reverend, generic or you dangeris since you already contacted them) contact KONI and ask them what it would take to get this rolling.

lets not give up yet!

[psi101101]

wow, 30k-35k...thats not too long from now.... AHH GB for this please...oh and.. are dampers always this expensive??

[mcheddadi]

wow, 30k-35k...t

???

[legend_217]

he means the miles

[psi101101]

yeah 30k-35k miles... ill hit that pretty soon..

[mcheddadi]

Bump for dampers! mmmm

[DAAN.]

bump - but I read they will not make them for us

[mcheddadi]

bump - but I read they will not make them for us

yeah, but still, if there is a demand there is certainly some company that will step up to the task.

[erick.s]

I'd be first in line .

[Coupeguy23]

i gotta ? is cheaper do coilover then lowing spring with these shocks or it the other way around

[Ricko]

Post is 6 months old. How are they looking? Dont see them on the site.

[Beak]

i would be fine with these or tokico blues.... anything quality! some ones neeed to to contact them. i know some of you guys are pretty good about getting the ball moving. i think that is the most important thing to start looking into.

[erick.s]

I just sent an email to Koni. Hopefully they will respond.

[Beak]

nice

[Beak]

WE WANT SHOCKS! WHEN DO WE WANT THEM? SOON!

[mcheddadi]

I've emailed them again, if we keep hammering relentlessly, we'll eventually get something I think

[erick.s]

I never got a reply from my attempt.
