I heard NEX coilovers werent so good. i reasd a lotta threads about them, even non 240sx car threads and dint find one good thing about them. but there isnt so many NEX coilover threads here at zilvia.

but hey! be one of the firsts to get em on an s14 and tell us how it is. (personally, id rather get tein basics)

I spent some time on Google and couldn't find much. Good news is I found no bad reviews, and all I was really able to find out was that they where a stiff ride on an accord. Their web site www.nexracingperformance.com is pointless. Haven’t found anything bad so far, but nothing really good either.

I have installed them on one my brothers S14....They are not bad, but do not compare to the Megan Racing coilovers, which can be bought for a just a few hundred more...

Not bad, but you can definately buy better....

[driftyour40]

I think for the price your not going to find something better. I just read one bad post on the drifting forums and two good/happy reviews on a DSM forum (not sure wich one) so really for $600 coilovers I think you'll be okay w/ them. Your call man. heres the link for the DSM reviews http://www.dsmreviews.com/dsmreviews.php3?category=3005

the one on drifting forums http://www.drifting.com/forums/showthread.php?p=128525#post128525

I have them.

I had to turn the rear upper mounts on my lathe to fit the smaller diameter shock tower, other than that they fit good, installed well, have awesome fit and finish and drive nicely.

They're super super stiff 10/8kg spring rate and the car handles awesome, because of the adjustable shock body length i've never bottomed out and i get full use of the shocks. Just as good, if not better than my previous cusco's. They could use pillow ball mounts, but they're fine without.

[kay_arsen]

man sounds really good im not going drifting or anything or racing just lowering for looks and some performance in handling these coilovers seem pretty good for the price.


:wiggle: i guess imma go ahead and get them thanks

[superman0234]

Gladman: Can you please explain what you mean by having to turn them on a lathe?

[driftyour40]

I emailed the place thats selling them, and asked a few question and this is what I got back:

"The Nex coilover kit is made of Billet Aluminum , the spring rates are 550 front and 450 rear pounds per inch, and they are manufactured from GoldenApple
thank you,

Element Motorsport"

I'd go with D2s, I an content with them.

[statik]

do those even have dampening adjustment? looks like just height adjustable...

[vvtisupra]

you're almost there just save up for real coilovers

[Dousan_PG]

werd
get some high quality
you WONT regret
suspension isnt something to 1/2 ass

[NZO]

My buddy has some of these on his WRX which he bought even though I told him not to ($100 'coilovers' are hard to pass up). I was helping him adjust them today and the whole shock body is rusted as hell. The plastic covering on the spring has also torn at the base of the coil and now the exposed metal in there is rusting as well. They are stiff as hell, almost like there is no give in the suspension. Sure it might be a nice alternative to springs and shocks (MAYBE) but if you want something thats nice dont play around, at LEAST get Tiens.

[kay_arsen]

i might be going with megan coilovers got a local gb goin on

[RBS14]

if they don't even compare to Megan Racing coilovers, that gives you all you need to know right there.
