(i drove at least 100 miles a day). they r still on the car. i just took them off to inspect them and everything is still good. my lower brackets were not spot welded and the coilovers are 32 way adjustable dampining and ride hieght adjustable. its important that you dont just throw coilovers on without changing control arms.tension rods and toe arms. those are all very important pieces. without good adjustable control arms,ect.. all coilovers would be bad. remember ur suspension is only as good as your weakest link.
replace your bushing as well. go to polyurathane..nismo makes a nice set for the 240's..

i hope it helps you out.
that did help alot, thanks for the reply. i still have yet to get anything really for my car. ive had money problems lately and i can even afford godspeed at the moment. but justdgeing by ehat you and everybody thats had them has said ill probly get them when i get the money
