im in the market for some new coilovers i wanted to get the apex n1 dampers but apparently theyre off the market ... however i think apex has went with a new line called the n1 evolutions .. anyways my question is ...

which coilover systems would you guys recommend ... doesnt have to be apex brand

 

I like my zeal B6 there kinda pricey but there worth it if you do more resarch into them. pm ardt2 for more info on them and other brands too.

 

cool ill look more into those .. my ultimate goal is for track use ... i dont care about ride comfort

 

i here alot that people love their tein n1's.
personal, *prolly get flamed but...* i like the MS's. pretty damn pricey but worth every penny. perfectly streeable and performs well on track.

im looking at various coilovers and notice some of them say theyre rebuildable .. others dont have that under their description .. what does that mean?

 

if it needs to get rebuilded, it just isn't good enough...

i ordered me some silkroads, just waiting for it to get here so i can put all my stuff on!

off-topic
finally got me some wheels too:

I would suggest reading through this thread:

thanks mahjik youre always great with the links

 

tein superdrift or flex set up me and my friends have had great results im performance in many cars and there great quality

 

whats your price range... i can recomend something.... HE > Supererdifts BTW

 

i have the tanabe pro ss coilovers and they are great on the strret and the track. the ss evolutions are supposed to be sick though, they have automatic programmable electronic adjustments for speed and acceleration. im looking at getting those now even with only like 3k miles on my new ones.

 

MazdaSpeed coilovers are just rebadged KYB coilovers. If you are looking for a true coilover set up for the track, and track only, why not look into the Ohlins, Quantum, or Aragosta? You definately get what you pay for. If you want an intermediate coilover though, and want to grow with, do check out the Zeal line of coilovers. I own a set of Function X, and they are tops!

 

I'm a big fan of my Cusco Zero-2s.

i have kei office type xr and i love them

 

I definitely agree. I have some that were on my FC, but I'm selling them due to financial issues

I've never driven another car that compares to the performance of the FC with the zero-2s. The handling limit is almost scary, yet the ride in the city is nowhere near bone jarring.

 

Get some Zeals, just plain amazing. I've got Gabs on my FC, and the are great, but way to short and the ride is a tad harsh on bigger bumps. I rode in a car with Zeal B6s, turned up to 25/30 (I think), they still rode better than my Gabs, but were just as solid.

 

One more guy that loves Zeal. I rode in Rishie(ARDT2'S) RX-8 on Zeals and they are NICE. I had JIC FLTA-2s on my old car and the difference between them and Rishie's Zeals is amazing. The ride comfort of the Zeals is unreal and from what I hear, they're insane on the track too.

Also, "rebuildable" is a good thing. All that means is if you ever have a problem with the coilover, you can get parts and have them serviced. JICs are NOT rebuildable, so if one beginns to leak fluid, your only option is to buy a new one for big bucks. With Zeal, for instance, you can send in your parts fand they'll service them for you. Much cheaper.

 

Zeals for FD hard spring rates should be showing up next week. I'll be posting the ad this weekend as a Xmas special.
