I got a set of lightly-used Tein plates for the Konis I built, and after putting them on, I can honestly say that I would have never paid full price for them. It's not a huge issue at the moment, but once I get some adjustable arms and drop the car more, shock travel is going to be pretty limited.

A set of eBay plates with a different bearing would probably be better than Tein or Cusco plates for much less money. Hell, if the OP doesn't buy them, there's a pretty good chance I will.

So people can see what Def is talking about:


The snout on the bottom is completely unnecessary and wastes travel. The front of the car would drop an inch if I got plates without the stupid snouts on them.
That's a very good point, most Nissan's are limited in shock travel anyways so plates like Teins will only amplify the problem . Thanks guys I appreciate all the good arguments on this thread. If I do have to replace the bearings a year from now its no big deal, good bearings don't cost that much nor are they hard to replace.
