Post by **br2819** » Tue Oct 08, 2002 7:11 am

i'm not alkin about th expensive conversions that are like a grand but the cheap ones. i hear ground control is good and skunk 2's for my honda but i don't know about nissan's. i figure since my car is slow i might as well make it handle nice.

Good set, Tein HA Kinda pricey though

Good set also, but more affordable, Ground Controls

Hmm...just curious...ive seen OBX in E-bay. Anybody actually tried dem pieces of sh*t?!?! Just curious how they are. But definitely Tein or JIC coilovers are the best coilovers for 240/sylvias :boink

in the application guide for grond control..is that just front two..or whole set...i would think whole set but I'm just making sure-

I think apex-i N-1 coilvoers are the best product out, as far as complete coil over products go, close second to ZEAL and TIen.....my only beef with tien is how many different "mico" systems they have...SS, RA, HE, RS, n1, etc....although I suppose it makes customizing the suspension toy uor car/driving a bit more unique....

I know Apex-I makes good ****, veilside uses them, and so does signal auto.....I think that speaks for itself.

one problem: cost like 1800 to 2600 dollars.

as far as "cheap" coilovers go, ground controll does make good stuff, but I've heard you have to do some "minor" modifications to make them fit right...and OBX stuff in general sucks ***. you get what you pay for, and anyone that uses "racing technology" to describe EVERY GODDAMN PRODUCT they make, is absolute ****. there is no "JDM lighting racing technoloy" light bulbs mother****ers, its just a HID "look" beam. god those ads piss me off.-chet(this is just an opinion, btw, Im sure there are many ZEAL, GC< etc people out there..)

I dont know, i heard those fake HID kits make your car uber-fast. Just like the Euro lenses.

what kind of modificaton do the ground control's require?

Post by **Exar-Kun** » Tue Oct 08, 2002 7:11 am

I think its got to do with the upper mount....

check their site, it might just be the camber plates that require mods to fit...-chet(sorry about all the typos in my post above, I R fist-typer)

I liked all the tiens I have seen- I but the models are confusing, I know the HE's are the ones set up for drifting if that wahts your into. They come with upper adjustable mounts up front and non adj moutns for rear. Bout 1200 i think.....

Post by **rousie13** » Tue Oct 08, 2002 7:11 am

The HE's run around 1300 shipped, so yeah u're pretty close on your guess for price. Great set of coilovers though, and not too rough of a ride. I'd get get Ground Control if you don't want to get true coilovers, but coilover sleeves.

Post by **E Dogg** » Tue Oct 08, 2002 7:11 am

Bee careful though not all shocks work with the sleeves,

Post by **corn322** » Tue Oct 08, 2002 7:11 am

if I remember, the tien basics only cost like $850 for the s13

I'd say get the gc coilovers from http://www.importhorizon.com .

They're cheaper than getting them from ground-control, and you can get the same stuff(custom spring rate, upper mounts)..

what are a decent set of coilovers?
