im looking for a 1 piece coilover design for a 98 EK 4 door. i want a firm ride and something more aggressive then tein SS. im thinking about JIC FLT-A2 or Zeal B2 or B6. i want a spring rate of around 14/12 or 12/10 but something very stiff and solid with damper adjustability. let me know what you guys think would be the best coilover for me. thanks

 

what are your future plans after the coilover? road racing auto x?

 

ya , depending on what you want out of it is how you should choose your damper.

apexi n1's are real nice.
i wouldnt go with jic altough they look pretty.
maybe upgrade your current setup with pillowball mounts and higher rate springs.

 

why are you so stuck on a full coilover. Get GC's and Yellows with the adapter to make them look like full coilovers....get rid of the perches.

I put these for sale the other day for 800 shipped, but sold to my friend for 600. 14k front and 10 k rear....it's a really good setup.

I would only get a threaded body coilover if I were to go that route. Otherwise, it's a waste of money

 

I have Tanabe Sustec Pro's. They're pretty stiff and can get annoying on the daily drive. But, in the corners is where they really perform.

 

anyone have any experience with apexi N1 or any zeal products?

 

friend has apexi and loves them.

we run Apexi N1 dampers on my room mates ITR. I know a few people running S6 and B6 dampers also....all are very nice, but not my cup of tea.

I'd take the Buddy Clubs in a 12k front and 16k rear rate setup

 

Did anybody say Zeal?

I'm on S6s.... had B6s before..... I'm close to hunting down a set of Ohlins.....

Buddy Club is good.... but heavy..... Emerika..... I'm talking **** about your setup....

Hey Pat,

didn't you want my exhaust

 

which of these coilovers have aluminum bodies?

 

I have the Tokico Illumina "threaded" body.. the spring rates are great for everyday ride.. and the damper rates on the struts are pretty cool too.. i haven't had problems with mine.. and they're a nice price too.. good enough for me..

 

anyone know of any good coilovers ie. zeals, tein, JIC, apexi N1... for sale anywhere? ive searched through here pretty good so dont tell me to do a search on here. let me know if you got any leads to a good set. thanks
