NEX coilovers

Will NEX coilovers from a 98-02 accord fit with no issues ?
Also are these any good? I see they are selling for under $600.

I'm thinking about ordering them tonight.
It comes to 597 shipped. And the seller also has make a offer.
So I assume I will be getting them for less.
I just striped out the back seat and subwoofer pannels and installed new rear interior pannels today and took out 2 of my 12's for now.
I sheded 35 pounds or so.That can't be bad.
I'm thinking it will be the best time to get some thing in there so I don't have to pull it apart again to install.

the quality of nex is excellent for a "cheaper" priced set of coilovers...my ss rides stiff..depends if your area is bumpy or not...im from san francisco, and the roads are all torn up and broken.

overall i like how the drop looks and the quality of the coilovers...not cheap looking at all. so far so good, no probs with them. youll like them.....

Have you had any noise from the back at all.
I just threw one in and it looks like the endlink is leaning right against the struts body.

Also when you got your coilover's were they allready slamed?

This is my first set and I havent adjusted them yet but, it looks really low.Not sure how to properly.
With me just putting them on the way I got them they look crazy low.

I don't know if they have a set for our car but,I just watched a skunk 2 video that shows one of their coilovers is capabile of 4.5" drop.
Those will have you tucked and sitting lower than you would ever want.

i havnt had any issues or heard any noises so far....when they are factory settings and you take your car off the lift to put back on the ground after installation...you are SLAMMED. you will need to adjust higher for sure....i couldnt drive until i made it higher.

also you dont want to go too low...from what the sellers told me, the maxima forums are having issues with these coilovers blowing out on them because of being too low at the same time throwing like 5-6 people in their cars along with their subs etc.... heavy load + too low = coilover failures.....

After getting every thing tightend up there's a 1/8" gaps nows.
Why could'nt you drive slamed ? Problems in the front or rear ?
The most I have in the car is 2 adults and want to start lighten up some things soon.

I Started to try to roll the fenders.
I used pliers to start the bends then I used a wooden roller used to install sound deadener.
It's tough but, it's going to give me some extra clearance.

i couldnt drive slammed because my wheels would straight touch the fender linings.... when i mean slammed, i meant the car is near touching the floor... my 18s would rub/touch the fenders

Well about a year to date. Got some rattling noise from the back.

I
have put back in my old rear shocks and eibach's for the time being.
Short ride,no noise.
Planning on a 2 hour trip on the highway tomorrow and see it it's a little less harsh of a ride in the rear.
Possibly buying some new front struts for the other eibach's and getting the car a little more comfortable.
Waiting for the company to give me exact price on the bushings.
Thought I ordered them yesterday but they called me back and said they might have a upgraded style and would have to get the price,so a wait.
No other issues,no rusting threads or any bad seals.
possibly for sale once new bushing are installed.3-4k on them
