Ok so from what I can gather the

Tein Super Race
14kg/mm Front and Rear Spring rates: Independent Double adjustable

The Zeals do not offer this setup. No indep double adjustable.

Unless you have lots of experience with adjusting suspension I would not suggest purchasing it unless you know what's up.

Tein also has very high spring rates for a street driven car.

thanks, Rishie

Rishie have you seen the freaking spring rates for the new monotube Tein Flex for the FD? Freaking 16kg front and 14kg in the rear!

Cusco Zero 2R. The Tein Super race can be electronically damper adjustable from the cockpit with a EDFC. If you want that function with Cusco, you'd have to get the Cusco Zero 2E. The Zeal Functions probably has a more ideal spring rate, depending on what you're doing with the car. The Zeals have two options. Street rates, and aggresive. I'd personally go with the function X coils though...

Any advice you get is worthless until you let us know what you kind of racing (or not) you are planing on doing with your car.

Then you dont NEED the super racing, maybe not even the function x, but the function xs would be good. You definately don't need the monotube flex. You might be interested in the regular flex coils. perfect for street, strip, road, and maybe a lil drift.

zeal superfunctions are just amazing... and super light weight

a friend had them on his 400+turbo 2Liter EG racecar

but I'm sure the teins are amazing too.

but it sounds like you would be fine on a set of tein flex or superdrift, no need to buy a more serious coilover for competitons that will require rebuilds more often than a streetable coilover.

Exactly...Both TEIN and Zeal are rebuildable here in the US also!
