Stock CL9 spring rate I think is Front 5k, rear 3.1k

Tanabe iirc is 8k front, 4k back.

correct, my Tanabe's leaked after ~5000kms though

if you get springs, then the shock absorber will probably crap itself within a year or so then you need to get new shock absorbers
That + labour x2.. isnt that much less than new coil overs.

exactly, which is why I'm leaning towards the GABs, for about $750 delivered, and I'll fit them myself, works out cheaper then springs and shockers anyway!

Can these GABs adjust height and firmness? Or just height only?

you are probably getting the GAB malaysia ones in that ebay link, not the GAB Japan... 2 different companies, with no connection. Just helps to ask seller where they are made first.. my bet is china.

My number one priority is comfort. I had coliovers in my old skyline and s15 and found them all too harsh for everyday use, even on softest setting.

So if i get same ride or siimilar to sandard, and i can adjust and lower it, ill be a happy customer.
