Big ups to Ralph and Jack @ http://www.delegance-autosports.com for doing a great job. These guys specialize in G's and take pride in their work. This was not a messy rush job. I highly recommend them for anyone in Florida.

If you guys have questions fire away and Ill try to answer them all.

I tried to drive on the same roads to test I havent driven much (600 miles). If I had to pick a number Id say its about 40% stiffer with sway bars and coilovers. Its not horrible but you wouldnt want to drive on a road under repair for long distances! With that being said the up side its on rails it really sticks now.

1.2 Rear
1.8 Front
The front bumper/kit is 5.75 inches off of the ground. Basically just makes the alignment rack @ the dealer.

I dont like the "tucked look" so for me this is plenty I also wanted to stay in alignment spec. Also I can have a full car and not rub.


One thing I didnt mention is that both Jack and Ralph were very pleased with the quality of this coilover. I had not seen anyone with this on this forum and at first I was worried!

the reason he may not have had to do any adjustments to camber or toe, is because he set the vehicle at a height in which it didn't alter those settings excessively.

no it was way off I had it aligned at the dealer and they were able to get it back in spec. I have the stillen dual kit for the back and the stillen front camber kit.
I wouldnt say its "soft" by any means. That was the reason I went with this kit ..to avoid it being to rough. If you look at the spring rates its a bit softer than the cs tein. regarding the weight issue well that may make a bit harder than if the kit was on a 350?? not sure

Huh Greddy's web site plainly show's that the front spring rates are well over CS spring rates,.....560lbs vs 392lbs. Your seller pointed out incorrect specs for the 240SX application. Though I'll bet that the rear rates are either 448lbs or 392lbs.

To be clear I bought these on my own and I dont claim to be an expert! Maybe I looked at the wrong ones but this link does not provide info that I see to say otherwise.

MAKE MODEL YEAR NOTES PART# LIST$
NIS 240SX 1995-98 adj. upper, F8K-L200, R6K-250 14022201 $1,580.00
NIS 350Z 2003-on F10K-L200, R8K-L240 14022206 $1,780.00

Ok, I thought for sure your the buyer of the used set sold here, sorry. In any event the link does plainly say the front springs are 560lbs and now that I see it, the rear's are 448lbs, spring rates are built into the spring part numbers in Kg figures.
