^ coils are more expensive and a little better for handling. They come with it's on shocks. You can adjust the height to where you want it, not all of them come with adjustable dampning (soft, stiff) and I've never heard of any rattling issues, it shouldn't do that

dang that sucks yeah now that i have these wheels a BBK system would show up real nicely and after researching these are probably my best bet without emptying my wallet.

what BlkSedan said. you're looking at about 1k for coilovers they do handle better but the ride quality is a little harsher depending on what your dampening is set at. i am set at 20 all around i believe. i am running BC racing coilovers which allows you to adjust dampening and it fits the X and it was on sale. No rattling what so ever and i ve been on em for about a couple months now.

yeah i've been meaning to do that for the longest time but i just cant bring myself around to bake and take apart the headlights and the weather is starting to get really bad around here its hard not having a garage or kitchen since i am at school i might send em in to igor to get em done but its kinda pricey...


thanks candle for the clean up!

haha yeah i m about to take the nismos off before the snow comes in and make them look perfect before spring comes. I am dropped on BC racing Coilovers i was debating on springs or coils then decided to go with coils so i can adjust to my liking

If you get coils you are pretty much committed to buying camber kits or your tires are gana have some crazy ware (depends on how low you are). i got the coils from b2 and camber kits from TH motorsports both are vendors here on the forums. if you go back a few pages you'll realize that i didnt get camber kits when i bought the coilovers but everything is fixed now

Sorry no pics gota study for finals maybe another time
