Coilover Suspension

Im planning on getting a Tein Coilover suspension, but i was a somewhat decent ride...which set up of theirs would be a good choice...im wanting tunablity and comfort...still going to be driven regularly...but taken to the track and what not also.

probably the type flex or the super street.

im lookin at their HE and HA coilovers myself.

i got type flex and they do good to me.....im no professional all out racer but its definently a stiff ride and makes u feel like king cornerer <---is that a word? i also have hicas though. be prepared to feel every bump though since its so stiff....but there damn sexy!!!! make sure u get pillow ball upper mounts too, they look sweet with the hood popped.

I just got my USED Tien Super Street ($600) with 12000K on them.... not bad, they are scratched and all but there fine, they sure help in cornering allot. Dampening adjustment is awesome, if you want a comfortable and stiff ride get something with adjustable dampening built in it. (Not right hide, but how far the shock travels)

The thing is that I’m broke now.... :p suspension is not cheap. I also got the cusco camber plates they make thing look nice too (included with the purchase) :icon16:

FLEX or HE will be the Tein's i buy, IF i go that way...

i have many options at this point...Tanabe DD, Kei Office XR, Apexi N1, JIC FLT-A2...so we'll see.

HE are designed specifically for drift, just so you know.

stupid question...but aprox how much will that drop the car? probly go with the HE setup...i want adjustablity...lots of it..

how'd this turn into a flame thread...teamXcessive...if you got a question...start a new thread man...

he did, he asked the same question in 3 different threads..
anyways, about the tein he, http://www.tein.com/hedamp.html
look at the chart, it says the max/min in inches and mm
http://www.tein.com/flexdamp.html is for the flex

let's try and keep the flaming on the downlow... haha.
anyway, i was looking at the type HE's myself. Either way, give us some feedback after you decide whichever to get.

FLEX - Twin Tube shocks. nuff said.
HE - Decent... but for 1500 dollars you can get KTS or Silk Roads with inverted Fronts.
Super Street - 600 bucks for coilovers :uhoh:

Im not a fan of
TEIN - Over-hyped-priced JDM Weaksauce
K-Sport - 700 bucks for a Coilover with 11ty billion Spring rates... no thanks
JIC - Too many Problems to list.

The Big Dogs (JDM) seem to be using
Endless - Nuff Said
Aragosta - good enough for Top Secret and Rotary Magic... good enough for me.
Ohlins - the best... and... the most expensive
Kei-Office - I saw at least three sets on the top cars at Formula D


Cheap / High Quality
KTS - Favorite for the Low-buck drift crowd. (cant afford to revalve for different rates = 1 spring rate... shows thought IMO
Silk Road - High Quality + Shiny = TeH w1n

I wasnt Trying to piss you guys off but thats my opinion on Coilovers.

arent endless coilovers actually zeal?

Yeah... Endless sounds cooler though... and the Zeal Sticker is kinda goofy.

i have d2's. they are way better than tein. 36 way adjustable and way stiffer with more adjustment.

endless is a pretty badass name. ive heard ups and downs about the d2's nismo what all do you have to say about them?
