Okay you guys. Since tein has been taking measurements to design springs for the car lets show some coil over interest so we can have them availible for our cars as well. I'm sure they'll be in the $1000 to $1500 range. I want everyone to express all of there opinions and thoughts and if you would or would not purchase adjustable coil overs for the Altima Coupe.

this is from the thread I made not to long ago.

No, coilovers are simply a method of building a spring and strut assembly in one piece, spring over the strut, coil over

wait till Tein is done and they release their springs. Then we can start comparing the two.

I would get Coilovers Basic or SS whatever comes out. I had Tein Basic Coilover on my previous car and loved it. I am waiting for their coilover if I plan to lowering my car.

how can any of you afford $1000-$1500 on suspension? unless you have sponsors, thats ridiculous imo. not saying that its not worth it, but there are a lot of people saying yes to this, and im willing to bet that there will not be this many people ordering this....or, there are some spoiled kids on this site.

eibach is fine with me..... I have bills to pay

I have to agree with Bmore... I have the Eibachs which I haven't even put on yet (waiting for winter to be over to put my new wheels and springs on at same time), and even though TIEN is def. the best company out there IMO for suspension, I would love to have em on my car, but the price just makes it not an option. I intend to put 40-50k on my springs and then maybe in a few years I'd get this. Not any time soon....

To those who do have the dough and don't have the Eibach Springs yet, go for it, you won't be disappointed I'm sure...

old thread back from the dead. I haven't contacted tein in a long time. I'll have to shoot them an email to see what exactly the hold up is. I'll copy them on this thread. And for the people saying they're too expensive and eibach springs are good enough. You're right and wrong. If you simply purchased your car to get you to and from work or school, maybe the occasional trip to the grocery store and don't have any reason to up the performance of you car and just want a nicer look then go for springs alone, but if you're like alot of us that make trips to the track or occasionally hit up the road course coil overs are a major improvement. 1/4 mile times will improve, road course times will be remarkably better, and most importantly to me the fun factor goes way up because your car is much more capable of cornering at speeds you didn't think possible when comparing to the stock setup. you also have the ability to raise higher than the stock setup which means if you want 26's on your alty...

they recently finished getting the sedan out of their shop. next step is for them to just wait till prototypes come in, and they told me thats another 2-3 month hold, then i'll go in for prototype fitting.

I sent them an email a few days ago and was told it will be about 2-3 months. They said to email again within the month for progress or more info on it.

Hopefully its out after Christmas

I don't mean to thread jack, but I got an email from BC Racing North America. They said that they are looking at having a commercial set of coilovers out around the beginning of January.

No.

ETA: 4-6 months. That is because our market is small. Meaning there isn't enough demand to where aftermarket companies will benefit from.

Final production should be coming out soon! They are the BR series. I will be getting these and doing a review.
