good to hear about the set-up, overall would you say its worth the $$? or would you say its not really worth it as far as the parts and results and are people just paying alot more for this set-up b/c its "NISMO"
oh, and how is the "bouce" factor Vs stock

I'll let you know if my tires start wearing weird.

the kit costs about 1700 bucks, thats all the springs/shocks/struts/sway bars, bushings. To install it all, another 2-300 bucks. Not cheap, even more if a dealer installs it. What you get for that price? A nissan tested suspension which will guarantee the parts if installed at a nissan dealer. I never had my bilsteins from my previous car wear out so i forgave the guarantee and had it installed at an aftermarket shop. There still is a bit of bounce like off a huge speed bump, but i guess this amount is needed to keep the ride fairly liveable for daily driving. My second choice was actually just buying eibachs and bilsteins, but you are taking the chance that each aftermarket part will work well with each other or might not. So far i heard good things about the eibachs, many vendors now sell adjustable sway bars, can't go wrong with bilsteins, so either way, if you can save money and get a good ride, take the way you want. I had the eibach/bilstein setup on my old car (300zx), just wanted to try something new that's all. The car already handled pretty good, it just makes it a little stiffer, a little more fun around those sweepers. If you want race components, go for the R-Tune. This kit happens to work great with my rim setup, some of you with stock rims or smaller might want to lower a bit more so coil overs might be better for some out there but the better ones cost just as much as the nismo kit.
