-Zeal - ( stiff, firm valving with adequate spring rates for a comfortable stiff ride)
-hks hipermax - ( from the passanger seat if felt verry firm. Not super rediculously stiff springs like most who companties who fail to match this up with an adequate valving for such springs. verry comfortable ride quality but a tad softer than the zeals)
-Cusco - ( Only had one chance to ride on from my friends car before he sold it. good overall impression with these, they seemed to do much r&d to get the " just ride" appeal but to me it seemed to be missing what the hipermax and zeal offered which is comfortable ride w/ firm valving and adequate springs which can accompany smoothe ride BUT performance race coil over)
-gp sports - ( id purchase these over teins or silk roads anyday of the week, Firm valving and stiff springs w/ semi rough ride. I felt that unlike the hipermax and zeal these were not made to appeal to many different types of drivers. more of a DRIFT coil over rather than a coil sold for a wide variety of usages)
-kts - ( i love these coilovers. And i got a verry good impression on them which has me sold much more than when i first purchased my tein he's. Same spring rates at most of these compaties so spring rates arent discussable. But the valving was verry firm BUT non rugged like the he's. my car seemed to go over bumps rather than bounce over tham and all the road pot holes. So overall id have to say adequate valving on a generaly common used spring rate made good quality coilover for both firm drift and smoothe gripping.)
-jic flta2's - (TYGMA where are you at. i did not get much of an impression on these coil overs besides these things were STIFF AS HELL. he sold them for tanabe DD's but the flta2's to me seemed to be much firmer and ideal for an all out drift coilover. Firm valving and stiff springs made for STIFF HARD RIDE)
-tanabe dd's - ( alast, the replacments, cannot remember the spring rates on these but the valving was VERRY SOFT and to me felt like an ideal track/grip or touge coilover for s-chassis. not at all comparable to the hipermax, cusco, zeal or gp sports units.)
-tein he's - ( these coilovers had my mind everywhere from the beginning, they were way overkill on teh valving uning a common spring rate. every bump my bounced off instead of rolling over. Verry ahrd rough coilover BUT ideal for sliding 50 mph+
overall imperssion is that these things are you DRIFT coilover set for that person who enjoys a SMOOTHE firm drift ride but not at all comparable to tanabe dd's in terms of grip ability. they just were not comfortable enough to enjoy the touge)
-megan 8/6 - ( rode in them for 2 minutes trough the city and arround some corners. to me felt like a verry budgeted tein he' but w/o the name to back it up. i have seen their manifold used on sr's and they have really good customer service but they seem to wear fairly fast and their damper adjustment knob becomes too loose and you cannot feel the clicks after a few events. overall impression is good but not at all comparable to the tein he's)
-silk roads - (verry stiff and hard ride but the valving was super soft on these frisko streets. i believe they were on teh verge of blowing so my impressions were not all that good. for the money it was a waste, go gp sports or cusco, even tanabe dd)
-tein Ha's - ( crap and leave it at that, dont buy and save ur money for something worth buying from tein)
-K sport - ( for the money 700.00. shit what the hell. if ur a noob and just want to drift at the events why not? id buy these over strut and spring any day. Semi firm valving and a commonly used spring rate made an okay coilover from k sport give them a 4/10 for trying.)
-tein super street - ( yeah, your going to get flammed so i will not embarass you choice or pocket for buying these. WEILL NOT COMMENT ON)
-Tein Basics - ( ok you've done it, C.R.A.P unles you just jave a show s13 and want to lower your car and how off your teins sticker!. do not buy and stay away from. ride heigh adjsutable from spring perch??? so lets soften up spring rate and lower my car with teh same valving YAYYY. stay away from and save your 800.000 for some k sports and cheap RUCAs from deluboz parts on ebay HAHAHHA) there you go, i redid my list. where are my kuddoz and reputation shoot im on -21
