You'll be fine harleyzx1400.
If they are not adjustable, that means that your damping rates will be matched to the spring rate and be suitable for the application - so it will be good right out the box. It's described as a street and freeway coilover kit, so shouldn't be too uncomfortable.
Although I wouldn't try to lower the car too much with them since it will preload your springs a lot and may cause the damper to work outside if it's designed range. But I'm sure the instructions will have the necessary info and guidelines.

Re: Koenic Springs?
OK, they are in, the wheel alignment has been done and it is looooow. A bit too low, cause we have a problem getting into the garage!! A strange thing. I did the adjustments before I put them in, and the drivers side rear is about 10mm lower then the other side. Both fronts are correct as per the specs in the instructions that came with the coilovers. I have lifted the spring with the adjuster, but just find that a bit weird. Anyway, looks deadly, and the ride is about the same as my 330I which had the BMW sportpack. Not too hard, but the bounce is there. Worth it.Cheers.

They coming. Took some before and after ones. Went for a long ride yesterday, and the arches touch on a serious bump, but still ok. Will post pics tomorrow which I took yesterday.

Re: Koenic Springs?
@ harleyzx1400: Would you mind measuring the distance from the centre of the wheel to the arch at the front and rear?
Have you adjusted the coilovers lower or are they at their highest setting?

Re: Koenic Springs?
Hi, ENZIO, the fronts are 335mm and the rears are 320mm. They are at the recommended settings given by TEIN in the booklet. They could go a little bit lower, but the exhaust touches on some speed humps, so that is the lowest for me. I might raise them by 5mm or so, but that will be as high as I will go. NIZAN-R, the tint is the darkest legal tint applied by PG Autoglass. I will look on their invoice, but I do not think they specified it. It is nice. Not too dark, just cool. Can't really space the wheels, as the offset is more than recommended for Nissan. The rears are 8" and the fronts are 7". They fill the arches nicely. Remember, this is my weekend "special" driver, so not too uncomfortable or wild.
