Consider it a compliment. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> &nbsp;The less posts per view is usually a sign of a more difficult question. &nbsp;It doesn't usually mean they don't care, it means they don't know. &nbsp;People always like to respond to the stupid/easy shit, myself included.

From what I've heard, zeal's quality is unmatched. &nbsp;Other than that, it's just digging up info on the 2 and picking whichever one has more stuff you want.

Some people like zeals 6 way adjust better than teins 16 because 16 is too hard to tune and is a bit overwhelming...others like to play with it and tweak it for hours till it's exactly they way they want. &nbsp;I've heard problems (and I'm sure you have to) with the HA's rusting. &nbsp;It's probably not as common as people make it sound, but a regular cleaning would be a good idea if you got the HA's.

take the zeals. i think of it like this

how many race cars do you see with teins?

i see zeal....

btw, i have tein HE. i'm getting either HKS or A'pex next year. their quailty is unmatched. tein is ok, i cant complain of course, but overall, i wish i took the apex when i had the chance..d'oh!

I concur with most of what's been said re: quality. My friend has HAs on his FC3S, and while quality doesn't look BAD, the PAINTED shock body is kind of... weak. not very confidence-inspiring (especially when the paint scratches off so easily).

Furthermore, I've only heard good things about Zeal. I would LOVE to get some Zeal function B6s, but their high price is pushing me towards JIC coilovers (the new FLT-A2s) which seem reasonably nice... but the Zeal Function B6 is still my top choice, followed closely by Apex'i N1 type-V and HKS Hiper-D. Unforunately though, I have not seen the Hiper-D available for sale in the US.

mmm oh boy.. this is a hard desicion...
yea i heard about HA's rusting..
i know zeal is relatively better in quality than HA
but HA is cheaper... well not really if you get the upper pillow mounts...
and zeal b6 is a bit over my budget... &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
oh well i wont rush.. i'll just take my time..
i need to decide for the best choice
in the mean time.. i have to settle with my 2.5 inch wheel gap.. haha

thx guys <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

HE's are about the same price as HA+pillow mounts, and the HE's come with pillowmounts already. &nbsp;So if your cool with the higher spring rate, they would be a good alternative...and still cheaper than zeal.
