Default Cusco coilovers?

I've been looking into coilovers and the Cusco's were suggested to me by a local shop. Just wondering if anyone has these or knows anything about them? Also is there a Cusco site that is in English? I'm looking into a street/track adjustable coilover.

Looking at that pic, it says that the one on the left has non-adjustable stroke, while the one on the right has 5-way stroke adjustability.

I have rode in a EK-9 with the Zero-2's there "HELLA" stiff and the quality is way better than JIC/APEX'i..... . alot of the Gymkahana drivers use them over here in Japan...

That chart looks like it's saying this suspension (both zero 1 & 2) are twin-tube design. It says something like "lowly pressurized". If you can find out the valve diameter, we would know for sure. If it is a twin tube suspension, depends on how much it costs, it might not worth it.

My friend's Cusco for the WRX is the Zero2R, with inverted struts & 45mm diameter pistons, not a bad size in my opinion.

Also, does anyone know why they print 2 prices? 160,000yen in the purple row and 180,000yen in the blue row? Is it with and without pillow mounts? just a guess

If it is, that should make it comparable to the Tein HA at 174,000yen
should be in the $1200 to $1300 range.
