I don't know, Ive never heard of anyone getting those. I don't see how they would work myself. But I am really sleepy.

I wouldn't trust them, they look like universals. Ebay has that a lot where they just put down a car make and model and say its made for it. I wouldnt purchase them if i were you, get something with a name thats trusted.. note his feedback isnt that good and the maxima springs are the same as those.. they would probably work, but i wouldnt want to take the risk.

Why don't you just save up for a set of Eibach springs, drop it right and get it aligned, and call it a day? In my experience, the car is visually lower, plus the handling is better, and plus (with progressive rate springs) the ride quality is still decent.

Ground Controls will serve the purpose you are looking for

Dont go with coilovers, they'll give you a bouncy crap ride, and blow your shocks. Unless you find shocks that can handell 350+ lb/inch. Go with tiens or goldlines a nice 2" drop and cheap.
If you do insist on cheap coil sleeves go with the nopi ones I beleve there number 1 brand.

ebay

Watch out! Most of that stuff on ebay is garbage. I woule go with a reputable name, such as skunk 2 if you wnat coilovers, or eibach or tanabe if you want just springs

I would buy the struts/springs as a package if i did it over again. The money i saved on the struts will be eaten by the aggravation of pulling the struts again to install new ones 'soon'.
