Was that your reasoning?

2 main reasons: 1) To be able to fit the wheel dimensions I want. 9.5 wide +45 offset wheels won't fit with stock shocks. 2) Bump travel. After experiencing the occasional bottoming out (hitting the bump stops) on my Sportlines, I decided I wanted a shock designed with suspension travel to go with its spring. The only options I could find that also met constraint #1 were coilovers.
Which reminds me, I need to update this thread w/ pics of my coilovers sometime, hehe. Though there's not much to look at since I'm temporarily back on stock wheels.
