Re: 240sx Hicas Shock help

..not necessarily a shock problem.. springs are probably just tired.. do you want to replace them with performance shocks/springs? or the stock suspension?

Re: 240sx Hicas Shock help

um, stiff springs eventually lose some of their stiffness.. which means they're not as stiff.. and when something isn't as stiff, its what?
now i know you're thinking limp but thats ok, everybody makes mistakes..

and teamxcessive, why are you so concerned about this? why don't you look for a suspension most people have.. in the world of tuning, buying the odd one isn't usually better.. find the mainstream suspensions and you won't have to worry much at all about hicas/no hicas.. its not THAT big of a deal
