Any thoughts on these? They supposedly have a MSRP of $1,250 but you can find sets on eBay for as low as $700. Has anyone installed and used these on their S14's?

The spring rates are

8.0 front/8.0 rear (kg/mm)447 front/447 rear (lb/in)

I've compared these rates with other brands, and there are a few other manufacturers out there that are using the same spring rates.

I can't find any photos of S14 sets but here's a picture of a set for the Maxima

Never heard of them.

Matched spring rates?

Thats going to leave you with a very stiffly sprung rear.

Eh, the quality looks ok from the pictures, nothing jumps out at me. It does look like they are using eibach springs, so the springs at least are good. It could be an expensive mistake, but hey someone has to be the guinea pig.

Remember you get what you pay for.
