Got my new coilovers - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Doriftomodachi · 05-16-2004, 01:09 AM

Kei Office XT-a. These are their new line. Inverted shock design, 16 way adjustable and separate height and preload adjustments. Camber plates are included and helper spring in the rear. Spring rates are 9/8. Set up with no preload for now with ~2.5" drop for now. These are just like their d1 spec model except that they have different valve settings and they have a rubber bushing instead of a solid metal one at the top of the shocks. These are some high end coilovers. I got them for $1700 with 2500 miles on them. The car really feels like it can harness the power of the sr soooo much better now! They ride very nicely and really tighten up the car. Even with no preload there is no roll. Props to James D. at Driftspeed.com for hooking it up!

let see some pics... those should be pretty...

You bought coilovers used without pillowball mounts for $1700? You got ripped the fuck off. I'd pay a max of $800 for those.

Yeah but he said that they have a rubber bushing instead of a solid metal one. I've never seen a camber plate like this but apparently there is rubber up there so that would mean there aren't pillowballs up there, right? All I know is that he got ripped.

Doriftomodachi · 05-16-2004, 09:59 PM

They came with pillowball mounts. They have 2500 miles and were on an AUTOMATIC bone stock s14. I saw them on the car before I bought them. The rubber bushing is on the spring seat. The d1 spec has a metal bushing on the spring seat so it's really harsh. Good luck finding kei office coilovers for $800.

Man you guys are just a bunch of a$$holes. Sounds like you're either too cheap to buy kei office or you can't afford them. I don't think I got screwed and that's all that matters. If you wanna laugh at me behind my back wow that makes you a real cool person haha.

OUTCH, "uhtohhhhhhhh" man this guy is getting FLAMMED royally

this is too sadd to watch! anyhow, i guarentee that if you have a bone stock s13, ae86, mk2, s14 or whatever you may wish for them to drive, they would drive the SH*T out of that car! with using stock suspension or even a simple spring and strut combination, i personally own a set of TEIN HE's " drift spec" i didnt buy them because they said TEIN or because they were specified as "D1 SPEC" i bought them because they were the best bang for my buck for being fully adjsutable. by you buying a set of used coil overs that set you back 1700 seemed a bit odd, i mean cool, keichi tsuchiya own the company! and maybe what he said on drift bibble got to you " the s13 is notorious for understeer, by purchasing the new kei office suspension you will eliminate this problem, but im not here to sell my product" SHABANG.... kei office is the sex! dont get me wrong but i think you would have been better of purchasing a set of buddy club, tein, jic, cusco, gab, GET, bec tec, billistein or even the new gp sports coil overs. just because they are brand new and not OVER HYPED im sick and tired of jdm! anyone want to buy my silvia front end?? 750.00 primered w gtr grille and oem silvia grille??nor cal location!

must mean these are the only good quality coilovers on the market... shit maybe everyone else should take it up the ass to obtain a used set of these coilovers for almost $2k when there are many different options avilable to get a NEW set of coilovers for the same price. Are you using them for your daily driver? I sure hope you aren't because I bet we are going to see them in the classified section soon.

OptionZero · 05-16-2004, 11:03 PM

doesn't jspec have XR's for 1800

the buddy clubs were 1400

mk20116 · 05-16-2004, 11:24 PM

if you're gonna support your purchase by saying that "kazama won d1 with them" then i guess advertising companies would want your name and number.

btw. we don't like meeting other guys in person from forums. we like girls

(well most of us

)

Brian · 05-17-2004, 12:23 AM

it's sad that such a nice person is getting severely thrashed online.
:/

old_s13 · 05-17-2004, 12:26 AM

hey hey hey...!

i am the one who talks the most shit on this forum, settle down.

who cares what the fuck he did with it, if he can afford it its HIS car, HIS cash, HIS life... who gives a fuck if he got bent over, banged with no vas, and then skeeted all over -- HIS LIFE.

"$1980 BRAND NEW AND SHIPPED BITCH" Talk about tough guys? HAHA

Lighten up guys. Jeeze, 240sx owners are cheap sons of b!tches. Maybe some people have more money to lay down on their car than just $1700 for a set of coilovers at one time.

You don't believe me how cheap 240sx owners get? Work at a shop and they'll say they can get anything cheaper on a group buy or *gasp* ebay. Fine, go buy it on a group buy or ebay, but you don't really build a relationship with a shop. I'm not sure how driftspeed is, but say you run into a problem, usually a local shop is more willing to help you out than some online seller. I don't know what his intention is or how much these coilovers are worth, but instead of talking about a price tag, why not discuss the performance of them?

BTW I did look at brand new jic, tein and buddy club coilovers but I liked the kei office because they were readily available and it's a free country

These guys are plain cheap and poor as pi$$. ku ichi! pake! man if you stuck a lump of coal up their a$$e$ you would have a flawless diamond in a week.

Make ALL the comments you want. I'll be having too much fun with my new(Used) coilovers

BTW someone close this stupid thread and stop these hating faggots from thinking about my a$$

holisticbeatz · 05-17-2004, 02:29 AM

Nice buy Norm, 1700 is a bit excessive for my taste. I'm a starving college student on a low budget setup, H&R/Koni..
