tein are nice

 

dont they have rusting issue?

how is zeal compare to them?

 

it depends on what you want to do with the car.... hardcore racing then I would go with the coilover... I was || this close to get the spring but I am glad that I got the apexi coilover.... much more to do with it that springs and you can play around with different setting. Beside you can always convert back to stock in the winter with stock suspension (epectially if you live in a place with lots of snow... like me)

that's true but i hardly never go to track yet~

i wish i could get coilover but they are expensive as hell

how much did you pay for apexi .. how do they act?

 

i think i usually (mostly) use my car on street.

does lowering springs downgrade the handleing or what?

help ~!!

 

lowdowns or tein SS

 

Looks: Spoon, Kg/mm, H&R
Performance: Tein, Zeal, Buddy club, etc etc

Get the idea?

 

damn~~ Tein is the winner

how much do they go for?? what about teins rusting?

 

yeah i know but does "Looks: Spoon, Kg/mm, H&R" will downgrade the handling or will it get any better?

 

what do u want from the car?? are you going to be track racing or just street driving? If you are gonna keep it on the street, or just an occassional track day, just get springs and save yourself some loot. I rock the H&R Sport springs on the stock shocks and they feel nice...slightly lower but very stock ride. I wouldnt hesisitate to take them out on the track a few times, but if I was gonna race more or competitively, Id opt for a full coilover set up so you can make adjustments and try different settings as needed.

 

I have tein HA with pillow ball mounts in the front and cornered balanced the car and it feels great. I set my levels soft for street. if your going to lower the car just save your money and get coil overs, but make sure you also have a camber kit, cause that was my problem after I put in that kit in my R.
tein HA rule

 

looks nice as is i think.

but ... if you must lower it or stiffen up your ride, maybe some Tein or Apex'i, i hear they are pretty good. can't go into specifics.

 

thank you all~~

i have a question ~ so if i get a springs~ do they handle better or is it about the same?

depends how much lower you go. If you get a spring that is a lot lower, like 2 inches or so(like the H&R Race springs), its gonna be a lot more stiff and wont feel like stock at all. It will also ruin your stock shocks a lot faster. If you get something more conservative like the H&R Sports, then the ride if very much like stock, yet its still about an inch and a half lower than stock, and your stock shocks will last a bit longer than if you had race springs.

 

what about spoon lower springs?

they supposed to lower only like 20mm and they worked on stock itr shock dampering right?

will it still wear out stock shocks faster?

 

apc lowering springs, thats what i have on my aaaaRRR! very nice ride yo

 

I would say Georges with the spoons looks just about perfect.

 

Spoon Sports Showa Coilover damper....

 

Id look into a mugen lowdown kit. A perfect drop for an R and you dont have to fiddle around with any settings. Great for the street and track.

 

I have the same thing on my head.. dun want to spend tons of $ but want a ZZeALL.. LOL

 

get jic gotta go with the magic, they have one major advantage over tein, the shaft is much thicker, so in heavy cornering the tein shaft will tend to flex and the jic wont.

 

Springs only: kg/mm (Spoon sits lower than advertised)
Coilover for street use: Mugen Low-downs

 

lower it, im going to get the zeals, my friends times were cut drastically on a nearby road course .
