Zeal B2's are the best for your $$$... Teins suck IMO. Check out http://www.aj-racing.com and go to the product link and click on Endless... all will be told

Anti-seize works wonders...you take care of them correctly, they will last just as long as any other coilover

If you got that much cash, get Ohlins... Japan's favourite street race shock. http://www.ohlins.com

TEIN! anything that is in a condition for rust WILL rust.... its
NOT the items trademark flaw, and if your teins are rusted and you then switch to a set of zeals they will rust too...first clue road salt or frozen water(snow) all over the roads...thats the problem not the product..but there both bad *** suspension.but i would go with teins.

contrary to popular belief, both tein and zeal WILL RUST, they are aluminum, its just a matter of time. of course it will take longer to rust but it will.

as for either or, i have rode in both and i find them both about the same. just depends on whether u want green or blue/white on ur car

just put a little bit of clear grease on the whole springs in the winter time , then summer wipe them off. Just like wax on a car, you wax on an then you wax off, daniel son.

Agreed, what's with the sudden hatred of Tiens? I mean Zeal's are awesome but Tiens are just as nice.

90% of you are just buying the name. How many of you actually put your $2k susp components to use? Another JDM fad...

IMO, the majority of the Honda world can get by w/ a decent spring/shock combo and proper alighnment
