Tein HE coilovers

I haven't seen any posts regarding this setup.. my buddy has them on his 240SX and loves them, I'm looking to not spend an arm and a leg on coilovers but I do want the pillow ball mounts, so I'm thinking these might be my best option. any opinions?

I was thinking about getting these to replace my JIC sa1's, i was talking to Rishie (ARD T2) and we both decided that I would be better off with the FLT-A2s for my car since they run the inverted monotube... and drifting puts so much side load on the struts that I would wear out the Tein's pretty fast. I hear they are a great setup and work well... But I havent seen anything on how long they last... My buddy has HA's on his 240 and they got pretty rusty within a few months.

All i did hear was that 3 guys my buddy talks to (all 240s) bought HE's and then sold them and went JIC FLT-A2s... i dont know their exact reasoning though...

Chris, you're lucky to have parking lots like that. Are these all sanctioned events or do you just go out and get some good shots for your sig. lol.

Man, I wish we had a place to do some stuff like that to boot.

Did you look at the link right above the pic in the sig... Remember i was tellin you my buddies run DGTA which is hopefully gonna be all over the east coast by the fall. I chose not to be a "partner" in the business as i only want to be a driver.

There is an event on the last wednesday of the month, every month from now till november 26th at raceway park. we are patiently awaiting for them to let us out on the road course as they dont have the dB levels permitted or something. so till then we just use the parking lot.

Did you ever see the mini video we made from our test day?, it is just me and my friend in his 240
