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 · 08-11-2004, 12:36 AM

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.

ch1873857 · 08-11-2004, 12:54 AM

inverted valves? if so yes

the240sxer95 · 08-11-2004, 03:58 AM

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 · 08-11-2004, 04:13 AM

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)

I think some people sell D2 for $749

D2 on EBAY

JKim0901 · 08-11-2004, 04:15 AM

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

DRFT180 · 08-11-2004, 07:56 AM

my brother is getting the SPL coilovers

*HaLo* · 08-11-2004, 07:59 AM

D2's with 7k/5k

gmckey · 08-11-2004, 10:22 AM

SPL KTS Coilovers 8k/6k

AutoRnD · 08-11-2004, 11:04 AM

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 · 08-11-2004, 11:27 AM

I really enjoy my HE's

1sikgti · 08-11-2004, 12:16 PM

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

removed.

xkimcheekidx · 08-11-2004, 12:56 PM

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 · 08-11-2004, 02:19 PM

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.

s14srpilot · 08-11-2004, 03:25 PM

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!
