Gauging Interest: 93-01 Full Coilover Suspension (D2)

[Red Lion]

I've been looking for some time to see if there was a way to get a great suspension set-up like this for the Altima, maybe even re-working other damper/coilovers to fit the U13, and this seems to be the best option.

Let's see here:
Ground Control Coilovers - $375 (Southwestautoworks.com)
Tokico HP Series Struts F/R - $340 (SWAW)
Stillen Camber Plates Front Only - $400 (Stillen.com)

That's $1115 total, and you still don't get the rear camber plates. People, this is a great deal. $600+160 for the camber plates = $760. That's $355 less and you get a complete, adjustable, racing set up.

Nick, I'm in. If this "group-buy" has ended, put me down for the next one. If not, contact me through PM.

Give Michael a call and see if he's already placed the order.

His info is in a post of mine on the previous page.

[Red Lion]

Well, I placed the order yesterday and sent my money order today. Michael said the orders go out at the end of this week, Friday I'm assuming. BTW Michael was a nice guy to talk to and do business with.


Orders go out this week. There's still time.

Nick,

Just got back in town, leaving a message now for Michael.

just left message number two...

[Black Hornet]

spoke with Michael, he's checking into spring rates with his overseas counterpart....

What is the deal? Is anyone remotely close to getting a set? I want some feedback to see if I should jump on this.

As posted, once the order is placed, it's 60-90 days to get them boated over from Taiwan.

They order about 50 sets at a time to get the freight charges down.

I can give you a few links of some 240 guys who have installed them.

[pr0lifik]

Any more links besides the Nico threads? Did you guys figure out the optimum spring rates for these? Should we use the same that the 240 guys use?

I haven't heard back from Michael yet. In the meantime, I PM'ed RyanD and he provided me with some very informative feedback. When Michael and I hook-up again, I'll run by him what info I now have with what he has gathered from his contacts overseas. I will be ready to order at that point.

btw, there has been an order or two already placed

[krackmnkysnick]

So how many of you actually got an order in this round?

[Red Lion]

I put my order in. I just hope I get mine before the end of august. 90 days is a long time to wait, but I knew what I was getting into.

Well I'll be in Hong Kong this summer. One of the first thing to do on my list is go to D2 in HK. They have one of their main stores there. Hopefully I'll see these inperson, and i'm trying to build the strut tower templet and hub templet...so i can actully go there and pop them in and see if they fit. As nice of an install on a 240...i don't trust a product that wasn't tested on a USDM (htought they're literally identical). I would hate to see 5 or more of u gettin shafted cuz we kno the import stuff...return is not an option, and u'll just get the run around.

i'll probably ship a set back while i'm @ it..so i have something to do when i'm back from the trip

[Red Lion]

I messaged Michael the other day and he said the orders were shipped and should be received in late July. The recommended spring rates were 7K/5K. Also, he ordered a few extra pairs, so if anyone still wants in on this great deal, let him know.

If not, I guess that means the few of us that ordered will be the first altimas here to have them. As soon as I get them, I'll post pics and let people know how they feel.

just out of curiosity, on D2s website the applications says for 93-96. does that mean that 97s cannot have them? If they can, put me in for an order of them with camber plates. If i have to contact someone for it someone PM me the info so i can contact them.

[ranisron]

it fits... I believe all the way from 93 - 01
