Hey Pat, im sure theyre gonna be better than all the other springs, i mean they are much stiffer than eibachs in the rear and they lower less than them, but the front im not so fond of, buy hey there wont be any nasty wheel well gap in the front lol

yeah I didnt get em...I ended up just doing the GB for U guys--kinda of a dumb move but--I dont mind helping U guyz out

Being nice and not backing out isnt a bad move

Thanks, im sure everybody else is thankful too, right guys?

yeah i am...im not worried about the performance of the springs really. as long as they arent as bouncy as my sportlines then thats fine. im use to the ride anyway. the only turning my car sees is on the street, and i can tell that the sportlines imporved road handling. now as far as track use...im sure they would probably seriously suck, but the only track use my car sees is at the drag strip. ready to get my springs and even out the front and rear. i think im gonna leave my eibach's on the back though.

im sure they wont be as bouncy as the sportlines because theyre stiffer and if you have AGXs it will also reduce it.

DONT YOU EVER SAY THAT!!! SCREW THE CHICKS, they are my reason for living, (well the fine ass ones anyways). Since its only lowered 1.2" have them sit in the back, weight distribution.

To those who bought springs, tell us how they ride. I was also considering getting these. Do any of you have bodykits??

yeh thats my reason to keep on going, for the hunnies baby! thats true about the back and theyre pretty darn stiff for just a 1.2" drop (basically 300lbs).

UNless u like alot of junk in the dunkadunk, like me.. j/k.. i like slender women, so, they will be able to sit up front, i just wont be able to haul around HER and her big friends, haha...j/p again..

I cant wait, and I dont have a body kit sorry, unless someone would like to buy me one!~

MP2050 · Feb 12th, 2003, 12:52 PM

alright well like I first said way back when somebody had to take the initiative and become guinea pigs with this...Im confident U guys will all be happy..

I think Katana has the best idea with leaving the Eibach rears though

Katana200sx · Feb 12th, 2003, 01:09 PM

slender women...naw brett...i like em w/little waist nice thick butts hehe. women are a pain though...most of the time or so my experience has been. im just ready to get rid of the mustang 90/10 look. why did nissan have to cut more off the front fenders anyway?

RacinConcept · Feb 12th, 2003, 02:34 PM

Well, I've travelled over some pretty nasty bumps and potholes, but havent bottomed out once yet. The springs work alright with the stock strut setup...for looks only. Track is a different story. I'm sure AGXs will cure most of it though. The front bumper is about 4-5"(i didnt really measure it) off the ground so speedbumps arent a big problem. I dont even gotta go at it with an angle. Just slow.

I'll post up a pic when i can.

PS. You guys can actually pic up chicks in a B14? Damn, i thought you had to have a Honda/Acura to do that!

JT200SX-N-FX · Feb 12th, 2003, 04:17 PM

Ha Ha, all my chicks ride in the front, thick or small. And yes, chicks luv the Nissan, because it's different and cute, as they would say. But if you have game, it don't matter what you drive. Unless you live in a high maintenance area, where everyone is rollin on DUBS!!

PatScottAKA99XE · Feb 12th, 2003, 05:24 PM

Here comes Pat again. You guys seem to be worried about a bouncy ride. Do you mean bouncy as in "boing-boing" or bottoming out? Stiffer springs make more "boing-boing" not less given the same shocks and struts. Youll get less bottoming but more boing-boing. So you better plan on getting AGXs or if you already have them..plan on turning them up a notch or two.

Katana200sx · Feb 12th, 2003, 06:07 PM

im not worried about bottoming out. my car is lowered 2" all around and i've not bottomed it out yet(prolly destroy the front end tonight bc of that *knocks on wood*). the bouncy ride doesnt bother me either....except the bouncy ride ud get w/riding in a car w/cut springs. i remember when i first put my sportlines on holy crap it was horrible...but i got use to it. i plan on getting some motivational shortened struts or some agx's in a couple months. we do appreciate your in put though pat
