My brother had them on a Civic way back in the day. He didn't have any problems with them...but it was a Civic...how could you tell?

I wouldn't think they were the end of the world, but with so many other options that won't cost too much more, I don't think I would do them.

Talk to Chris ( rides low ) he has smokin' *** deals on the KSport. You will be surprised at how little difference the price will be vs. the NEX. It will make your decision easy....

no doubt. I picked up a set of K-Sports for my crx for $400 with 500 miles on them......but can't bitvh since I scored my Toms Advox for $600 shipped on ebay with 15k on them. $3k coilovers for $600! Anyway, I see the Nex on ebay for about $670 shipped, good price and they look like a lot of other coilovers out there so maybe they're just relabeled? I know the owner of a local shop, who's big enough I won't disclose his name, that has to have one of his employees remove made in korea(or wherever) stickers and relabel them. Must get the dirt cheap.

A friend of mine has them on his 2GS. He says that you can't beat them for the price and the ride's not bad. Here's his car on NEX coilovers.

Yeah, these things are $100 more than just springs and shocks. Im just worried that if I buy springs I wont like the drop and then im screwed, stuck shelling out money for labor and stuff. You gotta figure its like tv's, 5 guys make them and 200 guys stick their name on them. Even the ksports are almost $200 more but really except for the name whats the diff?

I recommend them. They ride firmer than stock. However, it is not harsh in any regard. I am happy with them. The only down-side is: there are no brake line brackets on the front shocks. I had to zip-tie the brake lines to the Nex shock body. Other than that, no complaints.


















I'm sure they don't compare to the JIC and HKS coilovers, but quality is good!




BTW, they can get low. There were still a lot more threads to go; the car was almost laying on the ground:

Thanks, man. I got them in 12/08. About 9 months. About 10k miles. Plus the 3k the original owner put on them.
