OK, first I dont know how much "cheap" is to you. I talked to a guy that bought some this weekend for his 180SX and he paid $300. He said that was cheap. Now you add maybe 50 for me and about $125 for shipping that heavy stuff and your looking at about $500. Is that cheap for what your looking for?

As for S15's there are not many in the junk yards. I can order brand new parts though. It can get pricey also. I have alot of guys wanting the S15 headlights. These are the ones that have the silvia signature in the corner. I am going to the nissan dealer this week. I might be able to work out a group buy type thing. Emblems I can also get from the dealer. prices soon. Thanks jason

ya'll. becareful with used coilovers. some may require revalving. some people go to the track, blwo their shocks and sell it to the track business (they have offices/stores at the track that sell performance parts). so some of thise units get sent here. youhav to be ready to have your coilover POSSIBLY revalved. please dont get it and push down on it with your uppoer body to think "damn, it feels good" because that's just moronic.

revalving usually runs 100 bucks per shock.


just an FYI. remember, its USED..so you dont know what happenned before it landed in your hands. just keep an eye out and be careful

hey first, I will not sell coilovers. like someone said some of them are bad...also its a liability for me. I just had a guy tell me about someone that sold coilovers to the states and the guy crashed. tried to blame him for selling him bad stuff. Real mess. 2nd shipping is US mail. I am in the marines and ship using the US mail system. 3rd Type X tails are WAY to expensive. I may have some custom stuff coming soon though. I saw a set of tails that a guy custom made for a 300ZX using the factory housing and skyline tails. Molded the 2 together looked really nice!! It looked like alot of work but I am up for trying it. I am going out tomarrow to get the "test" set of 180SX tails. If it works the first set will be going on my 180 and the next ones will be for sale. It may take me a couple weeks to work the bugs out but I can do it! I will be posting pics when I get them done. I will be making them with a carbon fiber cover and one that is paintable. later jason
