howard's thread is totally not the same thing as what he asked, but to sum it up, the teins are good for both track and street.

aznpoopy, explain why the suck, I have been trying to look up for more info about it, but it seems that all i can tell is that they are 10/8k for the FD. Silkroad is pretty big in japan, but with the nissan crowd, really.

 

kool, thank guys i am leaning towards the zeal, and was surprised that blitz is now making coilovers i guess i have some reading to do

 

To make this simple and short based on my experience and opinion:

Get a coilover that has proper support in the States. Amongst your choices I'd suggest:

Custom Valvable: Tein and Zeal, track and street proven.

Direct Replacement Dampers: Stance for good turn around time and a desire to please their customers.

Primary purpose of your vehicle: Daily driver, dedicated track for fun, time trial competition?

Budget is a big factor. This will more than likely determine where you will be.

I have 3 examples for you:

Stance: Over $1000.00, under $1500.00
Tein Flex: Around $1500, on special from summer and i have a couple left.
Zeal Function Xs: Over $1500, under $2000.00

Stance and Tein are in stock, Zeal takes about 6-8 weeks to receive.

Tein and Zeal will be most comfortable. Stance will be great value for budget track coilover and ride decently on the FD.

Zeal B2 is discontinued. If you're wanting to buy USED COILOVERS - DON'T

Not unless you know their history.

There are the likes of several brands out there not mentioned:

Cusco, Tanabe, HKS, Greddy, Apexi
D2, Megan, DMax, Function and Form

More names than you can **** at. The three names above have support and have been on the market long enough to build a history. Many of the others will have limited support or long downtimes for replacement parts.
