Title: Options For Coilovers
proud_2_be_australian - October 1, 2009 07:04 AM (GMT)
Ive decided that since I need to change the springs in my car so it will pass rego i may as well bite the bullet and get adjustable coilovers. Just wondering what my options are here in terms of brand, cost, function etc.
Cheers

buy a set that is made in japan bro!!!!.....greddy, tein, zeal(endless), hks etc etc. they are way better quality and use better materials than the cheaper made in china etc sets like d2, ksport,g4,bc etc etc. a japanese made set will be more expensive of course, but they will last longer. i have a set of zeal functions in my tez and id say they have been in there for at least 9 years according to a date on them and they are still in very good working condition, no leaks etc.

extremly right...if you can afford to buy a new set, why don't spend a couple hundred with the brand name (Japan made) to enjoy its advantage without worry it will lead oil or anything in the first 3 years.....

not only that you will have to pay for installation costs to remove the old shagged out D2's etc and then put in the jap coilovers..
