Howdee all

I currenty have Koni Adj Shocks front and rear and Eibach 35m drop springs but the drop was not enough and not big or the Shocks but there one of the best over this side of the world.

I was looking at the HKS Coilover (Adj height and stiffness) and I was wondering what would be your recomendations ?

dude i drove this in the middle of the night too test drive well lets just say straight exhaust woohoo and all stock motor 16 valve
and interior STRIPED except for the dash lol and 2 seats haha.
i freeking pop the clutch at 8 rpm and man this sucker bones out well heehee i had too much fun that night and i got more info on drift set up ......in order too drift U dont need too drop your car unless your car looks like a rally special then i would drop an inch or 2 but non the less your suspension should be solid in the front and a tiny bit less solid in the back (all depends on your suspension) the teins HE are really stiff ..duh performance!
but u know thats the catch...any type of performance and u LOOSE THE STOCK FEEL ..soo forget about thinking soft easy ride cause soft is gona make your car ROLL like a suv lol u know.
if u want too drift sacrifice the smooth ride and deal with it ..thats drift life ..oo ya i just got 2 jdm conversions one for my car which ill post a pic when its put on..and one for sale on the private sale forum.hmm ive had experience on drop zone coil overs its currently on my friends 4 dr type R and lol they ight i guess but not for drift set up the springs are all universal too ALL hondas i found out cause i work at robotek motorsports (cheap pieaces of CR*P) non the less good for looks and i guess ok ride feel but NOT FOR DRIFT JUST A TID BIT SOFT ! dam i type too much any way ill post more info later for now i gots too sleep soo good luck yall

I had Intrax springs and oem struts on my altima. I was pretty happy with them. The drop was about 1.8" in the rear and 1.5" in the front.

I've heard plenty of good things about GC's but all bad things about DZ's.

so are you a vendor then?

um... JAP HEAVEN - HKS coilovers are really stiff, not designed for daily driving from what I've been told...

HATED 1 - they're pretty stiff too... thus note I'm selling my set (below)

...BOOGIE - you can get a set of Tein springs for $120 which I'd suggest because they are quality parts... better to spend on something proven than on then some generic coilovers on Ebay
