$1400 to spend... what coilovers? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

FOr the money, I would say the Megan would be a good bu at 800 dollars. I am going to be running D2 which I got for much cheaper than usually offered. They are nice quality and are great for the money. I drove a car with the type flex and I have to say, the cr with the D2 on there was much smoother and very controlled. With either of them, that would save you some money to buy other stuff.

10/8 springs are kinda stiff, but nothing you can't get used to.
how stiff a coilover feels has a lot more to do w/ valving than the spring (unless you run on like....12/10 or something crazier).
KTS are smooth as hell until you turn them all the way up. my buddy's coupe is about as smooth as my car (w/ MR coils) until around 12 clicks....then it gets bumpier.
only thing that sucks about MR is the damn 32 adj. levels. it gets old....but i also play with my settings a lot...still haven't found what i truly like f/r.

what setup are you going for? but yea, as everyone says, KTS.

THIS JUST IN.... what do we think of Zeal B6?? I found a good deal on them and was wondering//

Pudula · 06-21-2005, 05:27 PM

Thanks, Ryan

raen419, do you like those MR coilovers? You said they were fairly smooth, and for the money they might be a better buy than the D2.

I say get the KTS's that's what I was gonna go with on my s14 but I found a great deal on some HKS Hipermax's that i just couldn't pass up.

CMO · 06-21-2005, 06:15 PM

Never mind I just saw that you ordered the Zeal's

Ian · 06-21-2005, 06:24 PM

OptionZero · 06-21-2005, 06:38 PM

I used to have Zeal V6's on my coupe, they are very nice. Just keep all the paper work on the coilovers if you ever want to service them, it will make it easier.
