Suspension Questions- (what's yoshio and tein vs sportlines) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I did a search for "YOSHIO" and nothing came up.

What exactly is Yoshio and what type of quality do their parts have?

I have a set of s14 Yoshio "factory 6 way adjustable" struts and am basically wondering how good they are, how much abuse they will take, how stiff they are, are they rebuildable, etc.

Also, what is a better spring? Sportline or Tein?

thanks in advance...

I think you mean Yashio factory? Unless you got some fake yashio knock off's.

gotta240 · 08-28-2007, 12:14 AM

Yes, Yoshio Factory... They are pink stuts and have an "up garage" sticker on them....

Does anyone know anything about them?

They are just blinged up HKS,

Sportline or Tein? Neither. Go with Swift springs.

Edit: I was thinking coilovers. I don't know anything about the struts they make. But sportline springs should be fine for a strut/spring combo.

Thanks for the try zar...

Does ANYONE know ANYTHING about YOSHIO FACTORY?

those struts are directly comparable to a simlar tein setup, sportline springs would be a very good choice for yashio struts

did you buy these off the guy in socal? i was looking to buy those, if so they have sportline springs on them

EDIT: if you want to get rid of them i'll buy them PM ME :]

I only lil about Yashio Factory. There a Japaneses Tuner shop. They have a website but it's probably in Japaneses.
Um you know which struts you have?
I believe there 2 or 3 of them I dunno.
Yashio Spec Plus then the Regular one...

I dunno someone that can read Japanese would help more on there website.

gotta240 · 08-29-2007, 12:03 AM

lol...yes, can anyone read the japanese website?

Or can anyone tell me how much abuse these can take?!
(and yes, i got these of the guy in socal...he was a cool guy but didn't know much about these struts...and neither do I!!!)

I have no clue about the struts themself, but from my assumptions they should be decent. Also, going off what that other guy said if they're re-badged HKS they can't be bad right?

Anyway, Yashio Factory is somewhat known as the silvia experts and mainly work on nothing but the S chassis but i've seen them work on Z33's as well. Their color is hot pink as you can tell and they have a S15 that runs 56-58 secs around tsukuba?

gotta240 · 08-29-2007, 10:50 AM
