Ok I plan on ordering my suspension on the 15th of next month. The thing is that I was going to get the Tein HE but have been hearing people getting the Zeal B6 and they freaking love them. So I did a little research and dont see much diff in the two besides names.
Both have the front & rear spring rates(6-8) and other features seem to be the same.
Is one product just physically better or is it just the name.
Price
HE - 1400
Zeal - 2100
Pretty big price difference &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

Well, i've never heard about Zeal's rusting, but i've heard a lot about the teins rusting. Other than that, I can't really say.

Actually that was only with the Tein HA's. Instead of fixing that issue that came with the Tein Flex to replace the HA model which they have yet to pull.
I was curious if the had the same ride to them .... hmm

HE's are more setup for drift as stated by tien. They also dont look to have adjustible dampning. I plan to get the Zeal B6's someday if I decide to get a Z or s14. But I will be sure to get a custom spring rate as the ones that come street spec or circuit spec are either to soft or to stiff for my needs. Its up to you and what kinda of driving your wanting to do. IMO the stock spring rates are very stiff for street. Either way you go im sure you will be very happy.

Just a FYI -- the Tein HEs have 16 way adjustable dampening in front and rear. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
