Coilovers for G20

There's a few options.  The G20.net forum has been
beaten to death with this question in the suspension
forum.

I've run Intrax on stock springs (horrible!!!).  I then
switched to GC's with Koni's. Front struts from a P11
and rear struts from a 95-99 Sentra will work good with
them.  They are a little sqeaky but I've since found out
from P10 owners how to rid the problem.  Dont bother with
the rear P11 strut from Koni... there's issues when pairing
it with the GC.

I switched to the Tein NA kit after being told it was
the "best setup" and "rides like stock".  Spare your
money.  The smoothness doesnt last all too long,  and
the understeer is way worse than the Koni/GC combo.  I
wish I had never switched.

There's 2 king of the hill setups from JIC-Magic of Japan.
I wouldnt get these unless you like a super stiff ride or
do a lot of track time.  These are primo though.  :)

There's also a full coilover setup from B&G.  I only know
of one person running them,  but havent gotten anymore
feedback besides "I like them".

Lastly you can try using GC's with KYB AGX.  P10 front
struts and B14 Sentra rear struts.  This setup should ride
pretty nice for street and a bit of track fun.  And its
not super expensive because the KYB's are a bargain.

GC w/ KYB $750-800
GC w/ Koni $950-1000
Tein NA $975 (this is only lowering springs and struts)
B&G coilovers $1200
Jic-Magic $1350 for std. $1500 for 5 rate adj. damping.
