Springs AND dampers for less than $1000?

If so, none that I know of. unless you can move that price range up by $300 - $500, you may be better off going with ProKit / Sportline / AGX at ~$650.

TEIN BASIC COILOVER KIT: 240SX 95-98
Our Price $846.00
Compare At $890.00
You Save $44.00

Email this item to a friend

Item#: TEIN-DSP06-LUSS2
Here is a great entry level tuned coil-over suspension kit that is a big step above the 'Sleeve Type Coilover' kits with performance struts or shocks. These kits have all the high quality and high performance as all the high end Adjustable Suspension Kits, but are reasonably priced. All kits are ride height adjustable. The damping force (compression & rebound) is non-adjustable. Twin tube design allows the kit to be overhauled.

Keep looking.

If you get the HAs for 1100 you will spend another 300 on camber plates and pillowball mounts.
