Default Zeal B2 & B6 questions

with either of these coilovers set at max ride height will my car still sit as high as a stock R? Differences between B2 and B6? B2 compresses the springs when the car is lowered so you lose full suspension travel, but the B6 dosen't - is that the only difference? Anyone have and good/bad comments about Zeal?

The B6 body is chrome-moly; I think the B2 might be painted (like Teins ).

The AJ Racing boys can probably explain the difference in valving.

Up from the B6 would be Function S and S6, both of which are aluminum bodied and have lightweight SWIFT springs.

My experience with the Function S has been very good; even with the stiff spring rates (12k/8k), the ride is very tolerable, better than my old stock shocks/H&R sport springs.

The B6's valving is more aggressive than the B2. I have 20k/16K S6's and I love 'em!

B6 have case length adjustability which actually means you can adjust the stroke length! Pretty slick!

Night and day for autoXing

Before Zeal B6= 5th place

After Zeal B6=1st place

Also, the coilovers are very streetable with the street springs (560/336).
