Arospeed coil-overs.->(I know)
didnt learn the first time did you....

did you ride in his car..? the one that has them on his sentra..???? ride in it, then make the decision.just remember the GC coilovers are a very inexpensive alternative to the actual "coilover strut" packages out there. You can pick and choose spring rates for different suspension tuning capabilities. You wont be able to do this with the cheaper coilovers like DZ, Aerospeed..etc.

But, if you are only into looks.then all that doesnt matter...go for a ride in the sentra with the DZ's.then let us know what you think...

hmmmmm-yeah u got a good point.. I guess Im just trying to convince myself that I dont ned to spend that much $$$. But you're right IM going to actually take a ride in it first--Ill let u guyz know how it goes...

But Im telling you the Corolla is so low and the ride not bad at all . I read that DZ uses Eibach springs just like GC...

I havent heard that..but they shoudl be able to give you spring rates if they do...also, the toyota suspension geometry is different than the sentra/200sx....I was scanning thru groupbuy.com last night.there was one for GC's for $379.00.I didnt look into it, but saw it if you may be interested

I've got the GC and AGX setup, and I think it's a great setup. Perfect for the track, but a little rough for the street. I don't mind it, but some people do. BTW, I went with 300 lb/ft front and 200 lb/ft rear spring rates on the GC's. Hope it helps.

I too have the same setup, but my rear squeaks awfully, does it do the same on yours?

Yeah, the rear setup squeeks all the damn time! I can't figure out what's causing it. My only thought is that I need to grease everything up (all the pivot points), or that maybe the upper shock mount is causing it. I'm not really sure. You got any thoughts?

I was reading on the project car page about the rear shock mounts from motivational, and how the help with bottoming, maybe the might take the damn squeaking out too. That's the only thing I can think of.....My friend has the coilover setup on his Mazda also, except with the KYB GR-2, and he says his squeaks also. But he just rides with his system up???? But I don't have a system yet! Can anyone help us?????????

Well, the Motivational rear mounts don't stop the squeeking because I have them in my setup. I thought that the squeeking might have been caused by them, but apparently not. I hope we can figure out something to get the sqeeks out!

You can put 18's with Eibach Sportline Kit without any rubbing. I have actually put 19's on and they fit. Ground controls only go an inch lower than the Eibach springs (0-3 inch drop).

Thanx for the suggestion, but we've already spent $800+ on this setup, so we need a solution for what we got now. Supposedly a lot of people have the same setup, but no one is hitting us back. Maybe we need to start our own thread, what do you think shane?

Yeah, I think our own thread might be in order on this topic. In the meantime, hit me up on email if you come across anything that might help us out.
