My friend is considering getting Cusco coilovers for his 240SX. Are there Cusco coilovers for the 240SX? What site sells those? Are they too stiff for street use like the Tein coilovers? Some info please. Thanks very much. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Wow, posted last night and it's already on page 3. Bump.

Yes Cusco does have the Coilover kit for the S13 & S14.  Other JDM ones available are Endless/Zeal, & JIC Magic.  Cusco would be special order, and honestly over priced to special order it in.  Endless/Zeal is in stock, the B2 Series, and JIC Magic is also in stock FLT-A2

Let me know if you have any other questions

thanks!

Thanks for the info. What's the ride like compared to other coilovers? Do they have rusting problems like Tein coilovers?

I personally use JIC Magic and live in Minnesota where we have snow and salt.  No rust at all.  I have not used the Endless/Zeal, but from what I have been told, no rust either.  Both are noted as very high quality suspension systems, both used on winning circuit racing teams as well.

which one would you consider the most streetable, or good for street use?

silvia240 · 02-08-2002, 03:29 AM

well, your friend should invest in the Tien damper system because that is a great system.  And since its a damper system, you get the ajustable shocks we can be changed to your likeing.

S14Pilot · 02-08-2002, 08:24 AM

No, he shouldn't invest in Teins.....it's like throwing your money away.  It seems that Danio already knows the issues.  Great suspension components, but no durability.

The JIC Magic FLT-A2 is a 15 way damper adjustable system which is the most I've seen on a suspension set up.  The Endless/Zeal B6 or B2 would be good for street use as well with 6 way damper adjustable system

Zeal Function B6 - too stiff for street use same goes for Tein RAs, both high quality but your ass will hate you if you're just daily driving.

You also have the option of getting differnt springs with different spring rates as well for JIC Magic.  SF-1.  The Endless B2 would be best for street, and the JIC Magic SF1 was also made for street, but no adjustable damper
