Your struts won't be saying that after they get very weak due to an aggressive drop of like 2''. Don't get me wrong though, I have H&R springs with GR-2 struts but I got them because they came my way very cheap and I wanted the "look". I can't compete with the proper B13 setups though.

your question is packed with ignorance................and please dont take offence to that lol i ment no harm.
ill let you in on some info. stiff is not always good.....you could have a ride like a caddy and if its set up properly it will out handle all. bouncyness comes from the springs being to stiff and the shocks not being able to do their job. one of the best and cheapest handling setups you can do in get a set of hyperco springs and agx struts paired with a good rear sway bar. this setup will only drop your car 1 inch but thats perfect. the preblem with b13's is they have very little suspension travle, so if you drop it any farther than one inch it only has about 1.5 inches left till it hits the bump stops (once that happens your tires are "shocked" and will loose traction/start sliping)
another thing many people dont think about is if you have very stiff/low springs and dont have the suspension travle or proper shocks to handle them you will get even more body roll than stock! think about it, you have "performance" springs about 30/50% stiffer than stock on near stock shocks. in a corner the inside of the car looses weight then the springs have less weight sitting on them and they lift the car causing body roll. now if your springs are stiffer they are pushing up harder on the car and if the car is sitting 2 inches lower it will come up 2 inches higher during body roll.......thats no good! so please save up your money and sped it correctly. i can tell you from experiance you will deffinatly not be dissapointed if you buy a good setup.
well i dont have the money to spend on a set up like that but i get what your saying and i would love to be able to just go get the best damn set up money can buy. But i just want my car to drop a tiny bit and i want it to handle better than stock sicne my old b13 had nothing but dropzone springs and it handled waaaay better than this b13 BUT it would bottom out on any speed bump and railroad track
IIRC aerospeed sold sleve type coilovers(like ground controls). I havent heard of them for a while, which is a good thing. Only other yellow springs that i know of for nissans are goldline, but iirc, they didnt make any for the b13.
