Zeal has been around for a while, I already know a lot about them, that's why I did not include them in the list.

The others have been around for a while too, but information was lacking on them due to availability. Now most of them have US distributors, so I was hoping people could shed some light on these companies that are new to the market (for me they are anyways).

I had Zeal Super Functions on my S14 those things were awsome/sucked. Awsome on the corners and track but on the regular roads I constantly had complaints from my girlfriend about her boobs hurting from bouncing on the bumps... Lol i just liked to see her boobs bounce

TEIN OWNZORS. CANT BEAT THE PRICE FOR A 16 WAY ADJUSTABLE coilover in my opinion

...unless you get Silk Roads.

$1200 shipped and they are doiuble height adjustable with more settings than you'll ever need!

Can you get Silk Roads rebuilt in America?

i can get tein HE for 1200 or less, and thing is they can be overhauled, even HKS dont even do that. perfect bang for the buck. lot of pro racers recommend it and use it. i agree with em

[Ichi-Go]

If you make good quality coilovers they shouldnt need any rebuilding for at least 5 years.

[nasty nate 7]

thats beside the point, the point is that, they have that warranty as a extra security, what other company can give me that option and back themselves up?

ill pick up some rancho´s 9000RS or some FOX.........



jokin! pfffff

[slideways2004]

you guys also forgot the SPL coilovers, if you need to overhaul them, all it takes is a change of the shock, no downtime

Tanabe seems like they have coilovers for da 240sx

Ohins Japan makes coilovers for many japanese aplications, I just got some used ones for an s13 and am having them rebuilt soon. The coilovers are pretty much the lowest model you can get from Ohlins but still have inverted monotube design and a nice ammount of adjustability. To get a complete set... Shock, springs, pillow ball mounts, etc... they run near 3k for a set. Ohlins is, arguably, the best suspension system manufacturer in the world. Their cust. service is great and the guy I talked to at Ohlins USA said we may see the japanese line show up here within the next few years. You can still get them through some Japanese companies that ship overseas.

Nice, did he by chance say if you could ship the Japanese spec coilovers to the USA branch and get them rebuilt?

[LOVMUFN]

They can re-fill and re-charge but they don't have the parts for the Japanese product and don't sound too excited about trying to do it. They kind of said, "Hell no." in a very nice way. They will be more than happy to look at them and tell you if they can fix them though.
