Need help on selecting the right drop kit..for a 240sx

[Doze27]

I need some major help on selecting the proper drop kit...I went on ebay and found some reallllly cheap kits..For example, some coilovers were $35 and shipping was $30....i would like to know if someone bought any pro exhaust coilovers or other cheap coilovers..I am looking for something pretty cheap...but not that cheap...lol...

I dont know much about Coilovers except that JIC are good and so is Tokico and Tein but when i saw the words "Pro Exhaust Coilovers" WTF is that? if thats a brand thats fd up!

[drumpet15]

Stay away from a lot of that e-bay stuff. Almost all of the "real drift stuff" is cheap and stupid. Go with a more well known brand. Monooxide named some good brands, but I don't know how expensive they are...

tein coilover setups start from $1k. You can get a good HE for about 1200. But of course, Tein's are overrated because of the name. Don't get crucial performance parts from Ebay. unless you're paying a decent amount... it's not worth it. Especially suspension... it's very important you have a good set. You don't want it busting on you while your going 80 on the freeway. If you're looking for a shift knob or something.. go ahead get it on Ebay.

bottom line.. Don't get it. i quote from the past 200 threads... "you get what you paid for..."

did anybody notice he said $35 for coilovers???? since when does suspension - aftermarket or oem - cost $35????
man you're gonna have to spend minimum $600 for suspension thats gonna last more than 47 miles..

Your talking about Sleeve Overs. They Suck. Buying parts just because they're cheap gets you not-so-exclusive access to the ricer section on the saturday night meets.


For Springs buy Tein / RSR / Swift / KG-MM


Tokico is Wack
JIC is Wacker
Teins are Overpriced as shit.

[johnnyboy5]

what about eibach?

[logik23]

I heard that they are soft, good for street.

[sidewayzS13]

dont buy cheap shit it will come back to haunt u

[Doze27]

maybe i should get some springs...i was checking out Dropzone and the springs are $94 and they come with a Lifetime Warranty from Dropzone Suspension.....

[sidewayzS13]

maybe u should wait,save some money then go buy some suspension worth getting if ur gunna get springs u might as well get new shocks at the same time.

i have the tokico blues (i think they are illuminas or something) with eibach sportlines and they ride and handle good but they are kinda soft but they get the job done the total was around $600 and some change

[theenlightement]

tien are pretty nice i wouldnt by any thing from ebay

As recommended from a few other peeps on the NissanForms.com. I am going with the KYB APX Shocks and Struts ($350) and the Ground Control Springs(Coil overs or sleaves 0-2" Drop Adjustable)($379.00) Not a bad setup and still cheaper then a full coil over setup. Here is a list I was given of good coil overs.

JIC
TEIN
NISMO
Motivational Suspension
B&G
HKS
Buddy Club
Truechoice
KW suspension


Just my 2cents

Don't get the e-bay sleeve overs or anything off of e-bay for that matter, one of my friends bought those sleeve over kits off of e-bay and besides getting my neverending laughter he got something to support crap in his garage.
