Should I buy Kei-Office TDII's??

[sj250]

Ok, here is my dilemma. I have been presented with the oppurtunity to purchase a used set of Kei Office TDII's for my 89 240 for a ridicuously low price of $800-$900 canadian. They are basically brand new with no scratches or leaks at all. I know your all asking right now, "So what's the issue??". Well, this car will be a daily driver for 6-7 months out of the year with occasional drifting (maybe 1-2 times a month if that). So are these a good choice for a street suspension or are they gonna knock my teeth out due to being too stiff? The springs are 8/7. I am basically ready to buy these but would like some input first. I really don't want to spend a whole lot more than that. I was looking at the d2's but can only find them for $12-1300 us. Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

they might be a little too stiff but its all personal preferance, i personally perfer the 8/6 set up even for daily, i would say go for it, if you dont like it you can sell it to me :) (seriously) and if not im sure you can get what you paid for, if not more

too stiff? aren't the shocks adjustable?

I have kei office xt-a's with 9/8 spring rates. They are set with no preload and on setting #2 (out of 16) they ride a tad stiffer then my former tokico blues/eibach sportlines setup but if I set them on 8-9 they get really stiff. That's still with no preload which, if added, would make the shocks stiff enough to crack the chassis over time if driven on streets long enough

sounds like a good buy. maybe a lil stiff on da spring but you'll get used to it. :faint:

damper and rebound is, spring rates must be changes with a new spring
