[justinhustle]

i had a set of gab revos, but they blew out and the rebuild is wayyyyy to much

so im shopping around ;)

post up some pics/reviews/opinions/theories, whatever!

:wiggle:

[ch1873857]

how did you blow them?

[Steeles]

I got blown worldsports that need replacing :) they still transition fairly well in a drift but annoying on the highway

[Heartwork]

Cusco Comp Zero 2's that are still for sale ;)

[Bbandit]

the ever-popular... tein HE :)

i could buy a 98 kouki from japan for what youre askin :)

mine were blown when bought, but it was an "as is" sale =/

[Zemus]

D2 9kg/7kg work great

[KiDyNomiTe]

silk road rm/a8s 8k/7k. Love them.

[turbod240]

Cusco comp s fronts with custom springs, and tein ss r32 rear coilovers in the back. This set up works great, but I would love to find 2 rear cusco's sometime.

[Tygma]

Jic Flta2

theyr ok.. got in Japan.. a bit stiff..

[revat619]

Another Tein HE owner here. They're a tad bit undervalved, but they work fine. I've been to several drift events with them and they've held up extremely well.

[mjjstang]

any of you guys got the buddy clubs, I hear those are pretty good. Are those the inverse ones? or is it a different one?

[ch1873857]

inverted valves? if so yes

[the240sxer95]

im in the same boat as you justin :)

i think imma either go with HE's D2's or KTS, since they are all around the same price. unless someone has some other recommendations? or comments about the coilovers listed..

[kuruptR]

He's great value, includes very adjustable ride hight front and back. Pillowballs that dont clunk.

(-) they squeek if you listen close. anything higher than 4 setting (16 way adjustable)

[JKim0901]

Im on Apex WS, 7.5k in front and 5k in rear, good for daily but horrible at the track, could be stiffer

Anyone on buddy clubs? im seriously considering those so if anyone is running them give some feedback please

I think some people sell D2 for $749

D2 on EBAY (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7914264842&category=42609&sspagename=WDVW)

[DRFT180]

my brother is getting the SPL coilovers

[HaLo]

D2's with 7k/5k

[gmckey]

SPL KTS Coilovers 8k/6k

[AutoRnD]

Zeal function d's
9/6 spring rates
6 way adjustable
rear is full aluminum shock body
front is inverted.

They are a little pricey but comfortable on the street and great at the track.

[mixxamike]

I really enjoy my HE's

[1sikgti]

I am really happy with my tein he's.I ride with em all the way up on about 8 front an 10 rear on the street an the ride is comparable to tighter stock.Not bouncy,not overlly harsh on rolling bumpsr or sharp jolts.If I run canyons with the rear to stiff,it steps out on every turn,but thats a charataristic of the car,not the coilovers but does show that it does not give much under load.My rear do squek on bumps,but nothing at all annoying an I only noticed when my rear seat an trunk panels were :blah: removed.

[xkimcheekidx]

anybody have gp sports gr-6's. i was looking at the specs they dont look bad. and theyre a lil different from the sets of HE's

[sideviewcivic]

Running HE's here also. i run them 10 clicks up front 12 clicks in the rear. not bumpy in my mind. im used to race settings on a porscge GT1 cup car. saw those gp sports coilovers on bulletproof 12kg front 10kg rear. those are my kinda settings. strictly non DD and still have it on the street.

[nlzmo400r]

D2 9kg/7kg work great
got the same ones on the way. What pillowball mounts do u have (if aftermarket) and how much did u pay?

[s14srpilot]

Kei Office XT-a 9/8 rates, 16 way adjustable inverted shock. I run them with no preload and on "2" for daily driving. Great on the track too!

bling bling!

we need an ice emoticon.

[Hondamatic]

tein he's.. a bit bouncy but killer stiff so :thumbsup:

[jookybanana]

Zeal B6 8/6k, i find them quite rough on the streets, but very good overall
my bro has Zeal B2 and its perfect for the street

[DamnedButDetermined]

I have K-Sport's 7/5... They are great I think. These are the first set of coilovers I have ever owed, so not much comparison. I don't hear any clunks when turning. The only rear complaint I have is they don't go low enough in the rear without comprimising shock travel. Other than that defenately worth my $770 with an extra set of 9kg for the track!

[CoasTek240]

Cusco comp s fronts with custom springs, and tein ss r32 rear coilovers in the back. This set up works great, but I would love to find 2 rear cusco's sometime.
hey do you or anyone else know the spring rate of the cusco comp s?...i'm thinking of picking up a set.
tia

[AutoRnD]

i had on my car the gp sports gr6 and they worked.. not stiff.. to me at least.. also had the silkroad rma8's... bascally anything we sell i've tested on my car just about.. =) in terms of suspension wise at least.. so gp sports or silkroad and Zeal both get thumbs up =)

[nightwalker]

I also have the ever so popular HEs. I'm on my third year with them, and I just noticed that one of the rear one's might have blown. (Came around a corner trail braking and felt some tire hop on accel)

hmm... no one has Apex N1s? I'd like to know how those are. I'm going to upgrade as soon as my wallet allows me to.

[OptionZero]

i'd like to know how the N1's are as well..

[The ROMAN]

Tien HEs. They're decent, I'd like to sell em for some Silkroads or Sustec Pro DDs though.

[sr20pwrdSiLvIa]

Tein HR's on my Silvia, never imported to the U.S. though

[sr20pwrdSiLvIa]

OptionZero, N1's are the shit, that's all there is to it.

[the240sxer95]

doesnt pruto have N1's? i might be getting soem HKS soon :x

[pruto]

yes, i have N1s, they are the shit, much higher quality shit than my usual doggy poo

love them, awesome on the streets, liveable even driving on the dreaded LA intercity paved-once-in-a-decade roads on 9k/7k springs. and just simply awesome on the track. Can even drive full stiff around town without having to replace my backbone.

For comparo. lets talk piston size. tien HEs are 38mm IRC, JICs are 42mm (again, off the top of my head) HKS is 46mm. and N1 pros are 52mm. (48mm for N1 type V)

problem with N1s is that stock is really low (or perhaps non-existant) and i've been told that they're not making anymore and Apex is coming out with a replacement line. Not sure how true that is, and i haven't checked stock since i got mine (in Feb) so i dunno for sure.

[OptionZero]

any info on the replacement line? Hopefully somethign cheaper =P

[fastbacchris]

i own silk road rm/a8s. i love em...

[DRFT180]

I just put on my SPL KTS coilovers yesterday. Compared to my TEIN/AGX setup, it can be waayyy stiffer. And I am running on 60 sidewall tires. It's 8k/6k with a 40mm inverted shock up front, and 49mm in the rear. I had an extra set of Cusco camber plates laying around my room and compared them to the KTS camber plates. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! :aw: The KTS ones are atleast twice as thick and look extremely beefy. I love them so far.

[GonadSX]

D2 with 7/5 springs.

No problems...yet.

[nightwalker]

anyone know what if major differences between the N1 pro, and type V are?.. other than piston size? more aggressive valving?

How long did you wait to receive the SPL KTS coilovers? Or were they in-stock?

[DRFT180]

Actually I think I may have the first set for the S13. It took only 3 weeks for them to get them in. They were ahead of schedule.

[the head]

i run tanabe SS love them on soft they are very tolerable on the road bump it up about half way and the car is ready to autox on the weekend my only complaint is the side adjustment knob on the rears

[fastpace]

tein he. tight as hell and still going strong

[240eggsx]

S14 ZEAL Function V-6 8/7... Awesome coilover, rough on the streets.

[the240sxer95]

anyone have the HMII and want to comment on them?

[CoasTek240]

anyone have the HMII and want to comment on them? More information...? whhhhhaaaaatttt!, oooookkkkkaaaaayyyyy!

[the240sxer95]

hmII = hipermaxII (HKS)

[accordexl]

any of you guys got the buddy clubs, I hear those are pretty good. Are those the inverse ones? or is it a different one?

I am getting a set soon to put on my 180SX. As far as my previous set-up, Apex'i N1 Type V works GREAT!!! in Socal.

:wiggle:

[accordexl]

anyone know what if major differences between the N1 pro, and type V are?.. other than piston size? more aggressive valving?

As far as my experience, N1 Type Pro more stiff, N1 Type V more suitable for city driving. (These was to put on s14 before).

[blitzkrgCT9A]

TEIN HE. :coold: I like them. Not bad for the price.

[tastyratz]

ive got spl coilovers in the mail ill see how those are when i get them and put them on...

[Sil Beer S13]

JIC FLTA2's S14 front and S13 rears.

[nismo skyline]

i had the ever popular HEs, really stiff and not really necessary for the type of driving i do. next will be kei office xr or gp sports gr6

[TK]

spring rates on the PRO's will be a little stiffer, but i don't know the exact rates and apexi usa usually doesn't know the rates either. if someone that has each of the coilover sets could read off the part #'s on the spring, they should be able to cross reference the spring rates on the instruction packet.

i had n1 pros on my integra and they rode perfect

[TK]

has anyone heard of Magic Garage coilovers? i've tried searching the net up and down and have come up empty handed
