D2 coilovers 3inch drop front 3.5 rear

Post by **audtatious** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 8:45 pm

Eibachs with HP's now. Replaced the Illuminas a couple weeks ago. Better handling with the Illuminas but the HP's ride better.

I have Ksport Coilovers.

Love them . After i did my new struts (for the front) they have been running alot better especially with the new spring collars I got from Ksport.

Here they are when first installed

What my drop looks like.

NOTHING FOR TEIN SPRINGS WITH STOCK STRUTS

Post by **sixteenXnine** » Sat Aug 23, 2008 3:17 am

I'll be ordering Vogtland springs (1.4, 1.4) and KYB GR-2's this week.

$430 shipped FTW!!

Vogtlands reportedly work and wear great with the GR-2's, and even though GR-2's ara an OEM replacement, gen-5ers are getting good results out of this combo, with no blown struts or wintertime freezing.

I can't wait to feel what a lower center of gravity does for this car.

My GLE on the other hand has an "in perfect shape" OEM suspension... plus an FSTB. Rides very nice, and feels authoritative and confident... it's a bit soft in the turns, but I think I can't really say it's the struts, and my Goodyear Eagle RS-A's are on their last legs.

I have to figure out what bushings I need to replace as well... I'm thinking that most of you guys don't just leave the worn stock rubber bushings in there while you're taking care of everything else down there.

I'll post pics when I get the stuff and start working on it... it appears to me that NICOClub isn't to familiar with the Vogtland/KYB setup.

Need help here. I am looking to upgrade my suspension on my 01 SE Max. I want to stay as close as possible to the same ride( as far as comfort) but I also want to eliminate the wheel gap and give it a better look. This is my daily driver so I don't really don't want to have to deal w/ any suspension issues once I get everything installed. I was looking to go w/ eibach prokit spring and Koni yellows shocks, what do you guys think of this set up and or what do you recommend? As a new Nissan owner any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

*resurrected*

So, what's the difference between eibach, and teins, etc... as far as handling? I thought the struts really determined up and down handling. How do springs go into the picture? If they're inexpensive, and make a difference, I might replace those with my struts, but when I look them up, all I see are lowering springs. I don't want to lower my car. Thoughts?

01 Nissan Maxima: Elbach Springs and blue Tokico shocks 92 Nissan B-13 : Elbach Ground Control Coilovers

Im going to run a pair of KS Sport Coilovers for the B-13 to get a stiffer and stronger ride.

Then Later on {mabe} go with KS Sport coilovers for the Max to go lower than 1.5

ive had Ksports since spring of 07. they were version 1 KSports and they were junk. i recently got a set of ver.2 and they are a whole lot better than the original ones.

Progress/blues. Had them on for about two weeks now, pic is recent, and love everything about them for a DD. I only wish I had illuminas but those will come in do time

Don't mind the car being dirty..

I see that the Eilbach/Tokico combo seems to be the most prevalent answer here.

I've got a 1996 I30 and I'm looking to replace springs/struts. I'm looking for a fairly solid/stiff ride and I'm NOT looking to lower the ride any.

I do a lot of City driving and just need a set up that handles all the bumps of bad roads and speed humps.
