So has anyone run these on a s14? I was wondering what your guys thoughts were on them compared to stance and other brands.

Duffm4n had them on his S14. Well, he had Function/Forms, not sure if they were type 1 or type 2 though... Whatever. They weren't bad at all. Stiff spring rates, iirc, but not bouncy. I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth they were when I rode in the car. And of course, they went looooow.

sweeettt! do you know if they came with camber plates? All the photos i see doesn't look like it. But maybe they are just using it as a display picture.

He didn't ask for pics. He asked for opinions.

Then again, it's been said that a picture is worth 1000 words, so if your magical camera can actually somehow convey your opinion of the coilovers, then hey, post away!

you say they are alright but are some of the cons on them compared to other coilovers?

they are really not that bad you can really go low with these coilovers. cant really say about the cons because these are my first coilovers but my friends always say i should of went with a different brand but i got them for 800 brand new so thats why i went with them, also because duffm4n had them

What this is not about Zeals? bummer

blitzsti22 - hadn't seen your car since paint, nice

.SoCal-S13.

is this guy for real.


anyways.... i like mine overall. i just got the ride height/stiffness dialed in. i can go up driveways without a rear wheel lifting and mildly sloped driveways are now useable.








they handle awesome on mountain roads. at least thats my fav place to go. and they go WAY lower than i have them set. i picked a happy medium. and for the price, i wouldnt replace mine with megans, or godspeeds. Stance's are slightly better imo but not worth replacing my F2's.

soreballz

Yes. If you think that was bad, you're in for an unpleasant stay here on Zilvia.

ANYWAY. They're good coils for the price, for sure. I was gonna buy a set before I gave up on giving a shit about my S13.

They are super nice, more like for street but i think they have track version too. They can go REAAAALLLLY LLOOWW but don't act like the way they are being low ( you know when you lower your car, the car bounce like hell). They are pretty comfy on the street.
The price is cheap, too cheap for something that good so the question is, what's the catch? I don't think it would last long

Type 2's are 900+ just like PBM's, Stance and Megan's

Cant say for the S14, but I have them on one of my s13s, 8k, 6k IIRC, seem okay, a lot more comfortable then the PBM coils I have in my other car, but the PBMs have stiffer springs, and I havent spent much time with the damper settings.

I have them on my s14. I can't compare it to others because I haven't ridden in others. I like them, if my opinion matters. I had them for about 2 years now, they've seen 2 events and it gets daily everyday on some poop roads all the time. They still feel as great as the day I have bought them. I have type 2 btw.

nathanong87

that was sold a while ago. then he bought some s13, which he sold like a month after. i have no idea what he has now.

that s14 was sold when he was vinyl wrapping it or something.

This whole forum is like this, in every part. Some guys just like throwing in their snide 2 cents whenever possible.

Grow a pair. It's the internet.

to the people that have had them for a while how are they holding up?

chituntang

They go pretty low...

Got them used (said to be 10k miles). Drove them daily for another year, then stored the car for 3 months. Make a little noise now but still rides great (could be other aftermarket suspension component that is making the noise). But as far as the holding up question, you need somebody with more experience to answer that for you. I can only tell you they are not yet blown after 2 years of DD. You need to diy your own brake line holders.

IMO they look pretty close to Fortune Auto coilovers.
