Which TEIN Coilovers?
I have a s13 that I want to motor cross and drag. Does anyone know which Tein Coilovers would be best for the dual use?

This is Motocross.


What you want is Autocross. I'd probably recommend Tein Flex coilovers. We'll see what others have to say though.

Type RS is the only way to go:
Separate compression and rebound adjustment (16 levels X 16 levels).
Reserve oil tanks.
Inverted shocks.

im with the other guy. tein type flex is a good coilover system for your dollar. bang for the buck. but i have no experiences with teins other higher end coilovers. maybe b/c no one really post anything or maybe b/c not a lot of ppl can afford them?

I dunno if King makes coilovers for the s13, but I dont think that the tein's would pull enough travel to manage much motor cross?
