I have a '90 fb 240sx. Question 1 - I've seen these "ultrawhite" bulbs for sale everywhere, claiming to be cheap alternatives to HID kits. Do they work? Has anyone used them? Do they look good?

Also - I'm about to have $700 to spend. I was thinking of spending it on the Eibach Prokit and KBY AGX shocks (if i got the letters wrong it's cause 6 letters in a row don't make any sense as a word) combo from PDM, but I see mvp motorsports has an APEXi N1 damper kit. Do they do a drop on the 240? What else would I need to use them (the prokit combo apparently needs camber bolts and bushings).

Thanks!

Chase

"ultrawhite" bulbs are typically regular bulbs with a blue tint. Ass in a socket, don't gettem <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

N1s can lower your car. Are you looking at performance or just looks here? If it is performance, don't even mess with the Eibachs. IIRC, the N1s are a full coilover suspension, good stuff.

First off, I'd like to say that I have the PIAA Xtreme Super White bulbs. &nbsp;They work fine. &nbsp;Nice white light. &nbsp;However, I probably will just get normal bulbs next time (I have the H4 conversion on my car). &nbsp;Get the conversion kit first, and then think about the bulbs.

Did you find these N1 coilovers used? &nbsp;There's no way you can get new ones for $700. &nbsp;Maybe $1700. &nbsp;The World Sport ones, maybe, but not the N1. &nbsp;I'd say in your case, start with some Konis or KYB AGX and some decent springs. &nbsp;Then get some Whiteline or Suspension Techniques sway bars. &nbsp;Then some strut bars. &nbsp;Then some bushings. &nbsp;Then...and then...and then...... &nbsp;It will kill your wallet. &nbsp;Trust me.
