Dose anyone have or ridden in a car with NEX Coilovers? They are probably the cheapest coilover I can get. Here is an ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RK%3AMEWAX%3AIT.

Who the hell is NEX?

I don't know about you, but I'd spend the appropriate amount if I were going for coilovers. $425 is almost a guaranteed indication that these things are NOT quality.

I wouldn't purchase that, just my opinion.

Well if I buying TOKICO HP shocks and springs it would still cost the same or more. At least with this setup I can raise it in the winter. There are some positive reviews on other forums. The D2 Coilovers spring rate is a little higher then these. Hows the ride quality with D2 Coilovers? So I can get an Idea.

On craigslist here in MN some guys is selling some brand new tein for $500.

I bought a set awhile back. Used the fronts when I blew a front Koni on my wagon for about 2K.
The adjustable ride height was a plus. The springs were a tad soft, compared to the Mazda Speed springs.
The dampening was pretty good out of the box.
Probably these are spec'ed for the 4 cylinder version of the 6.

Seem to be made pretty well, the front brake hose clamp thing was pretty cheesy, but works.
I am hanging on to them for when the Konis wear out. and I can not really afford to spend money like I used too...lol

Hope this helps

I just installed these and am very happy with them so far. The ride is great, the stance is perfect. I had doubts with them before I bought them, then decided to do it and I'm very glad i did. So far, so good for me!!!!
