i must say your choice is the best :) valving on zeals is second to none great for track/autox/drift and easy on your spine on the streets. great customer service too and rebuild in USA

I have to agree on the zeals. I upgraded to them from Teins and never looked back.

i would agree on stances since i have only read many positive things. i plan on going that route myself while my S13 is stored in the winter. the only concern i had for STANCE is that they look extremely meaty and heavy duty. i am still alittle aprehensive about unsprung weight with these coils. does anyone have the weights of stance coilovers compared to other coils? (they must be lighter than OEM suspension) any feedback would be appreciated :)
Go STANCE!

there is a suspension faq also that gives u most of ur options to choose from.

indeed, punxva is correct, but i dont recall reading anything on coilover weights :( which would be vital to autocrossers :)

Stance's are great.
A lot of people were anxious for Tein's Super Drift, but they didn't take off as much as we anticipated. A lot more companies came out with good quality coilovers for that price.
I'd stay away from FLT-A2's. I haven't heard many good things about them.
Blowing & Binding.
The new SE7ENS are supposed to be really nice, but i don't know anyone who has them yet.
Some other companies to look at:
KTS, You'll get a very good coilover for the buck. Beefy and a nice ride.
Silk Road, I use to have these and i was very pleased.
If you really want to get some nice shit:
