Yea I'm still torn. Looks fortune can either do a min 1in drop with Oem spring mount or Oem height with true rear coil overs. AST is true rear coil overs and can reach near Oem height, tein can do min drop with Oem spring perch and linear springs so that sounds great yet from what I have gathered they are harsh. I am warming up to the idea of true coil overs which then would probably lean towards AST. I just don't know why a designer would choose to go true coil over vs the Oem design and risk body damage. Just can't seem to have my cake and eat it too.

Oh and vs fi bs Sam I went stillen. Not the most popular but I like it, awsome Oem quiet at cruise and nice not and power at WOT.

A proper company would do a ton of R&D on what happens to the chassis when you switch over to the true type coilover before ever releasing them to the public. If their R&D department can't make a failure happen in 300k miles (random number) of rigorous testing, I personally feel that they are perfectly fine for the end users they are targeting.

The Doran team that used 370's in the Continental Tire Challenge use a true type coilover only. Granted, those cars have a cage, but if Nissan directly is okay with using true type coils on a factory-built car, I have no issues doing it to mine.
