Message	option for someone like me with shocks still in good shape, but it sounds like many have had poor experiences with them. I got Illuminas for ~$350 and installing shocks/springs is cake, I can't imagine any Z owner serious enough to be considering coilovers, being unable or unwilling to install them themself, so you'd save quite more than just $100, it'd be more like $350. Which is nothing to scoff at IMO if they are a good product. search said you suck (n/m) - Wilks. 01:38:02 09/06/06 The MANtage....be a real man
