I am looking at the different coilovers by Zeal and I noticed the specs for piston size were as follows:

B/B2- 38mm
B6/S6- 42mm
SF- 45mm

what do those #'s mean? and should I be worried about them?

 

The piston surface area determines how much fluid it displaces per stroke, and how much energy is transferred from the piston to the fluid since that is how the shock dampens. Different pistons will serve different needs (big piston displaces more fluid over a smaller stroke would be better for low speed damping I would assume).

I would search this forum for posts from "CRX Lee", or maybe he can give an answer. Or give Zeal a call, I think they have a US headquarters.

I wouldn't be "worried" about it though.

 

thanks, I am not worried, I just wanna make sure I get the right coilover.

 

right coilover for what?

Ask CRX Lee what he has to say about zeal's

Are Zeals just JDM-bling?

 

well, "right coilover" for drag racing hehe... see, im going a route that hasn't really been tried, so asking coilover questions in the DR forum is almost pointless.

what does crx lee have to say about zeals?

 

PM him and ask.
