Opinion Needed, Best suspension

Hey everyone,

I am in need of some opinions. I am looking at purchasing a set of coils for my 95 240sx and am looking at a few options.

Kei office coils
Tein Flex
KTS coils

What is your opinion in terms of what would be the best coil ?

BTW its for drifting and auto X


Thanks a ton !

Many of my freinds are running the SPL coilovers and are loving them.

stock>coilovers......

Depends on the money you have, and if you're willing to corner balance and play with the damper settings to get it to where you like it. It will vary driver to driver. As long as the coilover itself doesn't have any shortcomings you should be good with a nice set.

i love my teins, but HONESTLY get whatever is the best bang for your buck. ive rode on kei office, silk roah, tein, hks, jic, and the ohh soo famous gp sports gr6 and to tell you the truth they all feel the same, besides the assorted spirng rates. i've even rode on the d2 coilovers and feel nice as well. unless you are looking to be , quote on quote " DIFFERENT" which wont happen becaue they are opther ppl 12 times more wealthy that have them. so just go for whatever suits ur budget
i got my tein he's for 1120 shipped. just just look arround for the best deals

Those choices are in completely different price ranges.

Most people won't need Kei Office.

KTS is the best bang for the buck.

Tein Flex is probably the most streetable, although you can get alternative spring rates. EDFC is a neat toy.

Actually Kei Office has a wide range of suspension. To say "most people don't need Kei Office" doesn't make sense. The Kei Office TEs are entry level. They sell for around the same price or cheaper than the Tein HEs. Unlike the HEs you get to maintain NEAR STOCK ride quality but still rip on track days.
