Hey guys,

I'm shopping around for suspension and looking to spend around 1K for coilovers. Trying to decide between Apexi world sports and Tein HAs, but would love suggestions and info!

Thanks....

the world sports are supposed to suck ass, but the N1's by apexi rock!!  two guys i know w/ 3rd gens have them and they are bad ass...  the Tein HA's are supposed to be good for the money though.  if you were still comparing the world sports to the HA's, id go Tein all the way.  but if it were N1's vs. HA's, it'd be a tough call.  where are you getting these prices by the way?  im hoping to purchase a coilover set up soon myself...

I have the Type HE's from Tein on my 90 and I love em.  22 way adjustable in the rear and I think 16 in the front.  Great value for the money.  And these come with the adjustable upper pillow ball mounts.  I payed 1000 for em and think they are worth every penny.

whats the difference between the Tein HA's and the Tein HE's?

the HE's are the "drift spec" winding master, while the HA is more of a "grip" coilover, I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Most go w/ the HA's because they're cheaper and aren't as crazily harsh as the HEs.
AFAIK, the only difference is in the spring rates, I've heard nothing about the struts.
