So, I am in the market for a bad *** suspension setup, so, here are the choices:

1) Zeal Coilovers
2) H&R Stage 4 Coilovers
3) Tein HA (I heard these rust)
4) Tein RA

Anyone have any experience w/ these, and, are Zeal any good?

 

I have Zeals on my ITR and not my EF, but out of the choices that you listed, the Zeals will probably serve you best. The are certainly better than the Tein stuff without a doubt. I'm not familiar with the H&R's.

 

yeah, dude, you are gonna need something street-able, though. not an all-out race setup. do more research! check out what other things are out there.

 

Sometimes people think they want a "badass" suspension setup and then they feel how 800lbs springs feel like over a pothole and start to rethink that.

 

Hehehe... true... when I get them 89civicdx, I'll make sure to put plenty of pillows under my seat. Why not go get an allout race setup Joey, damn it, remember my motor plans, eh eh, so I need as good as I can get riiiiight?

 

yeah. i'll have to think of a good setup. i think the best would be to call up eibach, and ask what they recommend for the plans you have. actually, i'll check with my euro-buds. see what they have to say....

 

'Preciate it.

 

i say ..just get a set of koni and ground controls.. it'll save ya major $$$ over those set ups...and the performance although will not match those you named...they'll hold there own.

 

Better yet...if you just want a good street suspension...Tokico Illuminas and H&R sports can't be beat for street price/performance and light autox/track duties.

*Don't* do Ground Control coilovers for street use only...if you sometimes track or plan to autox though, a good 300ft/300 rear GC spring/Tokico shock setup should be a good combo. GC will shoot you some crap like 350ft/250 rear, which sucks for track and autox but is safe on the street.

Zeal Function B2 in the street rate springs wouldn't be too harsh though. And you can always change springrates in them as well if you so desire.

Trust me on this info...
