Generic crap. The only benefit is that they have a straight steering arm.

a wise man once told me, "do it right the first time or you will end up spending more money than intended"

Re: Anybody tried NEX Coilovers?

Ummm... i might be lat but..... I have these... they were free so i couldn't complain about the price.. And the only think that i can compare them to is sportlines on tokico blues...

these are the ones i have (not exactly, but use your imagination)

ps. the steering arm is not straight

and this is my car (no good pics, sorry)


But just so you know... THEY SUCK!!!!! The height adjustment is decent, if you are just looking for the slammed look... I can tuck 215/40/17 up front, and about a finger in the rear.... The ride is good too, a little firm, not bouncy at all.... But when it is time to make a turn everything goes wrong.. Body roll is EXCESSIVE. My front fenders love to eat my tires (which is mostly my fault, i could raise it up a bit), but it is still horrible. Also the rear seems to love the bump stops. I can tell because my back end just hops around during cornering... Understeer, understeer, understeer is all i get ,all day long.
