They don't look too bad, found them on "prostreetonline.com" for $712.20

The New NEX Racing SS Coilover feature a wide range of height adjustments without changing the spring compression and sacrificing the shock stroke. Traditional Coilovers requires the movement of the spring perch to determine the ride height, causing a reduction in suspension travel and inudce coil spring binding. The bottom shock fork / connector is threaded to allow height adjustments to each drivers need without having to shorten the suspension travel by maintaining the original spring perch location. With this function, each driver can lower the center of gravity to achieve better handling, without sacrificing ride quality.

don't skimp on coil overs. If you do you will just end up hating your ride quality forever and will end up selling them (at a loss) or selling your car.

Rather save up and get something decent. Stance GR+ is one of the best and is not terribly expensive.

If anyone's keen on a group buy I'm in.

Had a look at the STANCE website and those Stance GR+ are very impressive.

Price - $1329.00
The GR+ is our flagship line. It features 15-way damping adjustable monotube shocks, which allows the driver to fine-tune the handling and ride. A separate lower bracket allows the ride height to be adjusted without sacrificing stroke. Spherical bearings are used to give the driver greater feedback. Inverted monotube shocks are utilized on strut types for greater rigidity and heat dissipation. Camber adjustable upper mounts are used on strut types.

- 15 Way Damping Adjustable.
- Adjustable Camber Uppermount.
- Pillowball Uppermount.
- Cold Wound Linear Spring.
- Inverted Monotube Shocks.
- Dustboot.
- Aluminum Collars & Upper Mounts.
- Height Adjustable Lower Bracket.

I think I should just say this.

Coil overs are made for a reason and stock suspension are made for a reason.

If you want comfort go stock!

If you want performance go coil over.

I did my coil overs. Don't expect comfort. Doesn't matter what type of coil overs, none of them are comfortable.

If you dont believe me go drive with someone who has coil overs. The Tein ones are even harder than mine.

Its just the quality of the materials that that separates the brands.

Just remember they dont have camber plates thus its not so tunable.

rather get them with camber plates, saves you a lot of money!

Coil overs aren't just about the height. Mine is 64 way adjustable or something. Height, dampening, release, camber and heavens knows what else!

I disagree. Some decent coilovers are actually reasonably comfortable. Enough so for daily driving.

A big factor when I eventually splash out on coil overs would be ease of adjustment. Coil overs that adjust at the top by hand or something like tein's electronic adjustment from inside the cockpit does come in handy to get a soft ride for your commute or week end trips.

Well then get ready to splash out some 13k for the coil overs and another 13k for shipping and import duties and then still to get the control box and some one to fit it!
