Differences between Cusco zero-1 and zero-2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok...So as of right now I now this much. The zero-1 dont offer adjustable dampening, and the zero-2 have 5 way adjustable dampening. So out of the two which would you get, also for the price, since they differ by like 300 bucks.
Also, one more thing, I found these Cusco coilovers, but cant tell weather they are the zero-2 or zero-1's, I don't know how to differentiate the two.

Zero-2 would have the damper adjustment on the end of the threaded shock rod. The pictures show clearly that they are not adjustable. Zero-1 and Zero-2 both have threaded shock cases to allow height adjustment without changing the spring preload...so it looks like the shocks pictured may not even be Zero-1. Its hard to tell without a picture that shows the entire shock.

Those coilovers in the picture aren't even zero 1's or zero 2's. Those look like the coilovers that they made before their current line. Think mid/late 90's. So yeah, they are old as hell and don't buy em.

As far as the first question....Zero 2's obviously but for daily driven cars maybe zero 1's would be enough. I rode in a GC8 with them and they rode decent. Very comfy.

Had the same set as pictured on one of my s13 years ago. It was the old model not the Zero 1's or 2's. The set wasn't bad at all considering their age, pretty damn good for the street and the nightly spirited runs. Check the condition before buying.
