Default Cusco Zero 2 Coilver Setup

Just wondering if anyone had any information on these set of coilovers because I might get a set at a good price. I think they are both height and damper adjustable, and spring rates are 9/5. anybody else know anything about these?
any info appreciated. thanks alot.

Cusco stuff is awesome! The Zero-2's are valved very well and are extremely solid. If I could score a set for my EK I would ****** it up in no time.

I say jump on it!!

What would you be using it for? Track days, just cruising around, the look, back roads, etc. A friend of mine has them on his 240SX and loves them, although the minimal lowering is already absurdly low (as in, the highest setting for his is like a 2 1/2" drop from stock). Not sure if it'd matter to you or not, but I think Cusco does not have any US shops, so if you needed them rebuilt or anything you'd have to ship it over to Japan.

A friend of mine had the Zero-2<FONT COLOR="red">R</FONT> on his WRsuX. They were stiff, but they felt much better than 475/600# springs on Koni yellows on my 91. I think the spring rates were in the 300-350# range, so the wheel rates between the two cars is pretty similar. Felt about the same in stiffness, but just... better controlled.

If you are a puss, yes (no offense, just being realistic).

They're certainly tolerable if the roads are good.

Spring rates are as follows:

9K on the front
6K on the rear

As far as being super low, when I put mine on my ITR is was slightly lower than OEM, then I decided to lower it much more. IMO they have a great range of height, I never had any issues.

Nukabe Automotive is the Master Import Distributor for Cusco Japan and has been bringing them over for about 1 1/2 year.

Feel free to give us a call. Also, go to http://www.cuscoracing.com (english website owned by Cusco) and you will see our name in the distributor link.

Thanks,
Brad
