They will just be chassis jewelry.

P.S. Turn off your caps-lock key.
A great piece of advice IMO.

Ext reservoir are crazy NASA points.

If you hang out on the boards a set of used Moton Clubsports usually runs around $2500-3500 and will come up every so often.

Everyone always equates suspension and coilovers. Truth of the matter is don't forget to budget for other things. For instance...how old is your car? Do you need to replace all the bushings? How low are you going? Roll center adjusters? Sway bars? Camber and toe arms? Etc Etc. Good things to think about. Coilovers on a car with shot ass bushings would probably just make the car much worse.

The car is pretty decent shape , I maintain it myself I work at a Infiniti dealership and I make sure everything is top notch and I have def acounted for sway bars etc etc . But you are def right about that. I have just been debating as far as coilovers and I wanted some advice.

JRZ RS pro double adjustables can be had for $5,000 with tax and delivery, and Darrin at West End will install suspension and align car for $400. That's what I got.

Why is OP SHOUTING?
