Suspension Questions- (what's yoshio and tein vs sportlines)

[gotta240]

I did a search for "YOSHIO" and nothing came up.

What exactly is Yoshio and what type of quality do their parts have?

I have a set of s14 Yoshio "factory 6 way adjustable" struts and am basically wondering how good they are, how much abuse they will take, how stiff they are, are they rebuildable, etc.

Also, what is a better spring? Sportline or Tein?

thanks in advance...

I think you mean Yashio factory? Unless you got some fake yashio knock off's.

[gotta240]

Yes, Yoshio Factory... They are pink stuts and have an "up garage" sticker on them....

Does anyone know anything about them?

[!Zar!]

They are just blinged up HKS,

Sportline or Tein? Neither. Go with Swift springs.

Edit: I was thinking coilovers. I don't know anything about the struts they make. But sportline springs should be fine for a strut/spring combo.

Thanks for the try zar...

Does ANYONE know ANYTHING about YOSHIO FACTORY?

[lflkajfj12123]

those struts are directly comparable to a simlar tein setup, sportline springs would be a very good choice for yashio struts

did you buy these off the guy in socal? i was looking to buy those, if so they have sportline springs on them

EDIT: if you want to get rid of them i'll buy them PM ME :]

I only lil about Yashio Factory. There a Japaneses Tuner shop. They have a website but it's probably in Japaneses.
Um you know which struts you have?
I believe there 2 or 3 of them I dunno.
Yashio Spec Plus then the Regular one...

I dunno someone that can read Japanese would help more on there website.

[gotta240]

lol...yes, can anyone read the japanese website?

Or can anyone tell me how much abuse these can take?!
(and yes, i got these of the guy in socal...he was a cool guy but didn't know much about these struts...and neither do I!!!)

I have no clue about the struts themself, but from my assumptions they should be decent. Also, going off what that other guy said if they're re-badged HKS they can't be bad right?

Anyway, Yashio Factory is somewhat known as the silvia experts and mainly work on nothing but the S chassis but i've seen them work on Z33's as well. Their color is hot pink as you can tell and they have a S15 that runs 56-58 secs around tsukuba?

[gotta240]

lol.. I don't even want to start that flaming.....

And for the record...they are struts...not coilovers. Thanks for the info... anyone else know more?
