Welcome to NICO!!!

There is NO aftermarket for any J30 suspension component. Your only option is Nissan OEM from either the dealer or one of our sponsers.

The customs he had made weren't cheap. Koni use to make aftermarket suspension components for the J at one point (circa late 90's into 2001). It wasn't profitable for them so they got out of it. Every once in a while the parts do pop up on Ebay.

I must say that is does look really good, but the video of him driving looks a little bouncey, i don't know if the shocks/tein springs can hold the 4500 lbs j30, it does look sweet!

what does that have to do with anything in this post?

he was asking for how to lower his car.

and you guys said its not easy and not bolt in.

i showed it was. you still disagree even thought the facts are there, and all parts listed by someone who has done it.

has nothing to do with the fact that you have kids and im 24 and dont.

no, more "custom" then putting any other lowering springs in your car.

where did he say anything about his kids? how do his kids if he has any, or your kids have anything to do with this?

The only fact I see is that one person has CUSTOM installed spring/shocks that where not meant for a car as heavy as the J. I personally don't think that's a good choice.

CA18Didnt mean to start a flame war budski.

I just react when somebody starts the name calling stuff.

As you did.

Its all good man.

Like Scott said if somebody wants to put lightweight stuff on a heavy car go for it.A drop in solution for a 3800 Lb car is what I would like to find.

Are there really no coilovers made for the Leopard in Japan that would bolt in?

What is the chassis code for the J30? Y32?

If my J wasnt my daily driver and I could put it on a lift and shizz I would consider seeing what would work.But being tight on cash Etc. make that a LOW priority.Plus I got up this AM with a puddle of PS fluid under the front end ..Arrrg.
