this link might help you in finding a better price range, cause for 600 bux ur gonna get about 1/2 a coilover set..Or atleast 1/2 of a decent one.

u can be lucky and find a set for 1000 before shipping/taxes costs if there are any in ur state/province.

right on... you're looking to start at about 1300 for just the coilvers

struts you can pick up for around $350/400 for tokico blues or kyb agx... springs should go around $250.

if your not installing them yourself, you can add on another $200. so its around $800 for a stage 1 suspension upgrade

Groundcontrol coilovers are $399. Height adjustable with only one hand. So in the winter you can raise you car back up easily. You can find KYB AGX shocks on ebay for about $300. do you really need camber plates? Are you going to be on track often enough to need them?

If you plan on doing any time on the track, go for Koni yellow's. There a little bit more expensive, but it's awsome having the adjustability to go from comfy street driving to a good firm track setup. I was able to build my own coilovers w/ Koni yellows and race springs for about $900, and I can use any 12" long 2.5" diameter springs. If you want more information about how I built them, PM or e-mail me.

The Koni's are very nice... but dont you have to take the wheels off or something to config it?? But dang $900 with another say $200 you could of got some TIEN HA's... just my opinion. Im looking into just doing a Groundcontrolls & Tokico Blue's set up. Shouldnt be more then $600 im hopeing!! Groundcontrolls for alil over $300+$150-200 for tokico's... sound nice to me i got the option to raise it lower it, damping is an issue i wont have to deal with. But if i wanted to i could go with the KYB's exactly the same as the KONI's with bout half the price.. :bigthumb:

i'm payin' the bux just to make sure i get the best suspension possible. Tein's, JIC's and the like are all upwards of $1k american, which isn't too bad considering how well they work on the track. Koni's are fine if you're not looking to blow a truck-load of money, but, as with everything in life, you get what you pay for. :bigthumb:

I just recently bought my Tein S.Tech springs for 120 on ebay and I bought KYB GR-2's for my car (93 240 Hatch) for 185 through www.sr20development.com (local pickup since it's in my area).... that's just a temporary solution, eventually I'm going to go with Tein HE or Flex suspension though... rides decent... nothing too spectacular though, if you want to go with about 600 bucks, you can get some KYB AGX struts for 370 shipped on www.coximports.com with some Eibach's, here it's a great combo

for 600 bucks you won't get much, but I'd recommend some eibach springs

Well, on my 180sx I found cutting the springs not only lowered the car, but handling improved 10 fold.
and it didn't cost much at all
