I found FRSports very professional. From virtually the minute of placing the order, you can track your parts through the whole process. You can calculate the shipping on their site, but just remember there are some customs duties and or VAT which is payable at the Post Office upon collection. For R 3300.00, I paid R 158.00 at the Post Office. I should imagine it will increase with the value of the order. Good luck.
NizanR, I was wondering about just springs instead of coilovers, and you have answered my unasked question!
Not much point if the car still wallows around like a baby whale in the corners and 'floats" at speed.
But, in saying that, coilovers are not pleasant when the road surface is not smooth.
Oh, well, decisions, decisions, I suppose.Cheers.

I know, but Eibach made S13 springs as far as I can see. I'll probably end up with TEIN S springs.
I also want to maintain the feel of the stock springs, especially on fast bump. Hopefully they managed to engineer that in with the
progressive coil. I must say, Nissan sports cars usually handle lowering springs very good!

Thanks for the info! :)
I don't think anyone would really want coilovers in their road car in this country.

I did, and I do and I like it.
Then again I might be considered somewhat of a masochist.

Occasional S+M is ok, but not all the time!!!
The car does look nice dropped, but the speed humps/bumps in Cape Town are becoming like mine dumps they are so high.
Not so lekka for the exhaust, and I only have a 63mm on.
Imagine a 75mm!! Eina.
