        You don't need to make multiple threads asking the same thing. The other is going to be deleted. Also you're posting about 3rd gen stuff not BF stuff. Post in the proper sections please. thanks.

            Saying please and thank you and letting you know what you did wrong is being rude? Wow. I'll be nice and not say anything. Welcome to cp

                Tokico and eibach are both great products. I believe deansweetp5 is running those.

                    If there is one thing you should NOT go cheap is on coil overs, trust me all the low priced on sale CO is junk. A buddy had one on his 1997 SENTRA and it was dangerous to drive that thing. We took them out immediately, he did not even bother to put on CL or EGAY. He did not want anybody to get killed just because he wants to make some money out of the junk suspension.

                        Ground Control.

                        Make sure you spend the money on some quality struts at the same time.

                              Then you'll be looking at spending $700+ new then.

                              Set on eGay for cheap. Look like the FLT-A1 Series. I have never done coilovers so I have no idea of why the bottoms look so odd?

                              Like Chirs stated above, I am running Eibach ProLines and Tokico Blues. Ride is nice. Not too harsh and very predictable.
