Tein Springs & Tokico Blues: Yay Or Nay

Just wondering if this combo would work decently on my HICAS equipped 93' 240SX?

I was hoping for KYB adjustables but unfortunately the stupid HICAS system seems to dislike the adjustability options of these shocks.

Working with a tight budget here, so unfortunately full coilovers are out of the question.

Anyone else using this setup?

BTW: Tein beats Eibach sportlines in price I found too.

do the math on the spring rates and select a spring that will give you they ride you want

The sportlines would look better IMO, but lowering the car more than 2" requires a camber kit I believe, so that might make the decision swing towards the Teins a bit more.
As far as handling goes, I'm sure both perform pretty equally. My number one issue is acquiring a quality spring for the best bang for the buck, which shouldn't be a problem anyways as Tein & Eibach both make good products.

well camber bolts arent expensive
and alotta times it's great to just hold off and save to get what you really want.
i'm not saying wait a year till you get zeal money...but try as much as possible not to half-azz it.
feel me?
also check spring rates...that will help clear things up for you

For comparison I run 6k fronts and 5k rears on the streets of NYC and they are livable. I would even go for 7kF 6kR in my daily driver.
