Sleeve on's or coils?

So i have a choice of just going for the JIC or should i custom make sleeve ons with the tokicos and some 300zx sleeves?From ground control with custom kg on each spring?Let me know im thinking more into just buying JIC now.

Edit:

I got a 93 Q45 would the 94 JIC work since i just found out they make them for those or are there any other brands?

The only problem I can think of when trying to make a '94 coilover fit onto a '90-93 Q45 is the front lower strut mount bushing. The stud/spindle is a different size between 90-93 and 94-96. You may or may not be able to press in the OEM bushing depending on the design of the coilover's lower mount. Other than that, maybe damping or spring rate might be a little off.

for jic money you might as well get the correct year. actually, the same goes for a sleeve/strut setup. it's all in what you can afford.

True but I rather not go with springs which seems like my final choice.:pat:

Anything made for another car like s14 s13 are not made for the heavy Q45.People do it anyways that's why im like why not make a custom setup up.Only problem would be is im making one brand on springs run on a different brand of struts.This is hard thinking and choosing.:saiyancrunks:
