looking for reviews, specs, and spring rates for these.

anyone have them, tried them, heard about them.

dealership is no help, zilvia search is no help, and goggle is no help.

Why Nismo? Stance? KTS?? There many other coils out there. I'll let you drive on my coils.

I had them on my car. Decent ride, firm not bouncy or harsh. They don't go low-low though. Pricey compared to the other alternatives out now.

They might not be the cheapest coilovers out there, but I think they are quality ones. It looks like they use KYB shocks (I could be wrong though, but the 8-way knob on the rear shocks looks identical to the one on my KYB AGX's, except it has a nismo sticker) and I know I've been more than happy with my KYB AGX's (they are already 3 years old and still work perfectly).
In any case, if you try them out, let us know what you think about them. I'm interested in how they are on the street.

One blew in a year on my friend's setup.

who had them local besides arthur? he daily drove them in staten island and drifted on them for at least 1+ - 2 years. the rears blue after he installed 8 or 10kg/mm springs on the rear.

they do use kyb shocks, but i seriously doubt they are actual kyb agx shocks. iirc it's not recommended to use more than a 400lb (7kg) spring on a kyb and the nismos come out of the box with a 8kg/mm front.

from sitting in his car many times, my unscientific ass dyno tells me they feel awesome. even more comfy than flex. downside is they indeed do not go very low at all and are single adjustable. and they are expensive as hell. at any rate, i thought they were discontinued.
