Default ZEAL Function V6 Coilovers Finally in.

After waiting for at least a month. They are finally in. ZEAL Function V6's. The Spring Rates are 10kg's front and rear, and the there are 6 settings for the shocks. SO, it's gonna be pretty harsh on the freeways. But superb handling in exchange.

Here are the pics.









And here is the MAIN reason I opted for these coilovers. The arm where the steering rod is connected to is considerably lower than all the other coilovers out there, thus greatly reducing the bumpsteer during hard cornering/breaking etc.



Hopefully they'll be going in tomorrow, so I'll update with some more photos. I'm currently riding on 02-04 struts w/TEIN S-techs. So these coilover will be a HUGE upgrade, considering I have an 05'. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

When you take the stock/tein suspension off, could you weigh them (especially the front) vs the Zeal fronts?

Wondering if the Zeals are any lighter.

Great purchase! I was considering these versus TODA's when I was trying to make a decision on what to spend money on. You will not regret adding these to your vehicle!

these should actually be marvelous on the freeway, the local roads with pot holes and debris is when the ride gets rough.

The stocks are 9lbs heavier in the front and the rears are 1lb heavier than the zeals.

So an overall savings of 20 lbs? Nice.

Thanks man, here are some pics of them installed.






3 Wheel Motion







REVIEW- First off let me say I will be lowering the rear a little more so don't worry, just ran out of time today. I have the shocks set at 1 all around and it is still pretty damn stiff. The chassis feels more composed over bumps. And the ride isn't as bad as some people say. I can certainly live with it daily. I haven't really gotten to push it yet because my alignment is pretty screwed up right now. I have crazy toe-out in front and driving it hard will pretty much kill my tires, so tomorrow after the alignment. I'll give a handling review. :thumbsup:

Only thing I don't like about them is the rear springrates. 10K isn't nearly enough out back for the RSX.

Wonder how far up/down you can go in springrate before a revalve is needed.

It's not as stiff as you might think. I have the settings at 1 all around and it's actually not that bad of a ride.

can you take a pic of how much space you have between
the axle boot and the bottom of the coilover? please.

Thanks.
