if you're planning to go big especially with sr20 swap then you probably dont want to go half-*** on your suspension either, just pick up a set of coilovers for about 600-800 and then you can adjust your ride height to wherever you think it looks best. trust me, best route... little more expensive and you wont regret it. as for company, JIC and Tein make the best ****... went for tein myself on my specV... did just springs on the altima and regret it.

well if your looking for a simple drop thats real clean and a lot cheaper than coilovers... i'd say the kyb-agx/tein s-tech set-up. i had them on my 95 before and they were real nice. stiffer than stock but were bearable on bumpy roads. sorry i dont have pics.


your suspension choice should be based on what you're planning to do with the car... auto x, drift, etc...

My 240 is dropped about 2 inches from previous owner, some retardd guy who didn't know**** about cars, kind choppy ride and hes thrashed the suspension, i would dffinetly do what Kasirus reccomends, get some coil overs then work on ride stance, more tuning for you personally, and if you go Tein you have the EDFC controller option

yes yes coilovers a great... but if your not using it from track use and mainly a daily driver (depending on the streets in your area) coilovers can be a little too stiff.

Agree! I would say go with some quality drop springs and a good set of shocks.
