I ordered AGX's and Eibach's for My P10. I also ordered 17 inch rims and tires. I figured I would take the plunge all at once.

I got them at a local shop in Miami , $388 for the AGX, $229 for Eibachs...

What settings should I put AGX's at to start ....I don't want to lose my kidneys...

I have silver p10 and the rims are MAS PRESIDENTES...

I wil do the whole before and after thing....

I would like to have a nice looking silver p10 like some other people in here .....

I had the bottom painted silver. It was black and mae the car look to high of the ground even on stock wheels..... I also added side markers because like he look of them on the P11 and some Japanese P10 .....

I also want to add the spoiler T style ...

You should have one really nice looking ride with your wheel/rim/shocks combo. Good luck and send them pics.

I'd say, try 1 and 1 first. I've had the GAB/Eibach combo before and it was a stiff ride, even a 1 and 1. Small bumps really made the car jiggle. If this happens, try 1 in the front and 2 in the rear. I've since switched to the Ground Control w/ the GABS and have not regretted it since. It's a MUCH better ride AND handling!!

it cost about 25 bucks !!! I did it myself. 4 coats of the matching nissan paint ( check the paint code on you door or in the pep boys they have the spray paint chart ) and then two coats of clear....

Take your time and make sure to do it in a garage or on a clear day because if it rains or wind blows dirt on it you are screwed. Because it is the bottom the match did not need to be exactly but I followed my friend's instruction ( body and paint back in NJ) it came out perfect . lots of peole asked did i lower my car ..it made that much difference... just don't go try fix other scratches and stuff around the body with it.... it won't look right ...

No one has the MAS wheels in the g20 bolt pattern any more !!!! Evryone has them on back order .. this is getting frustating ... see my rant about the suspension switch ......

The guy who has conecrazy.com , AL used to have them on his p10.

Oh wel it might be C5 time now .....

Look I should have asked yu first anyhow sorry. Thisplace only has a deposit so I am not ocked into them yet.

Can you get me what I origianly ordered ?

Eibachs, AGX's and Mas MGR's (wheels ) for my 1993.5 G20. Since your shipping is free it would be worth it for my to tell this other place to forget it ..

I really want the MAS wheels... they look sport and classy...
See attached picture..

Also what about headers ?
Are you open on Sunday's to call ?

yeah those wheels are nice.... i know someone who has them for a GTI. the cool thing about them is that the spokes go all the way out to the outer lip, so it makes the wheel look even bigger than it really it is.

Yeah they are a nice looking mag.

Myself....i like a few more spokes as i have on mine. Everyone seems to be buying a 5 star pattern for there cars and i wanted mine to be a bit different to all the others around town.

b-bOOgie made a good point about the spokes going right to the outer rim and making them look bigger :)

The fireball wheels spokes also extends all the way out giving that "bigger" look.
for 17x7, they offer 4 different colors, gold, hyper black, white and silver. Price ranging from $750-$825 for the set with no tires. Shipping would be about 10-20 bucks a wheel depending on location. If you are interested, email me at luke@digitalracer.com
thanks!

after I bitched that guy out " now " the wheels i wanted are mysterioulsy available and for 40 bucks less than I got the quote from Discount Tires and instalation is free for all the suspension.

I think he knows someone who reads this forumn. He sid he did not want to give a bad impression and that dis satisfied customer tell more people than a satisfied one, especially with the internet.!!

I ageed with him and told I would let him know. It's a shame it would have to come this ....

Funny you should say that, because I was thinking that the new Primeras looking a lot like the Altezzas (MMM those cars are nice!)

PS the guy at the place def. has someone reading the forum he told me so this morning on the phone ....He hope that I would I still let him take care I will write that he took care of the problem here in the forum.... hmmmm

I work for Florida Power and Light. A huge company in Florida. Alot of car enthusiast here ( mostly honda and mitsu ). He knows that if he screws me he loses alot of business just her at work.

He has 10,000 worth of order here now just in my department. One guy went there and got taken care of and now he has me and 4 other guys..... waiting .....

He is really scared of the bad publicity because they just hired him from another shop to boost business....lol
