Default T1R Coilover Opinions?

Ive heard much about Tein, JIC and Buddyclub ect ect... but not much is ever said about the T1R system. Its fairly inexpensive in comparision to others.

My application will be used for the street mostly but its not like I wont mind a stiff setup. I was looking at Zeals, Tein and possibly JIC's. To be honest I have no idea which to chose out of the vast variety. Unlike wheels and exhaust, looks really don't come into play here which makes it more difficult.

Tell me about your experiences as well some things on the T1R coilover.

I trust T1R more than JIC & Buddy Club because I never heard bad things about T1R.

Yeah I do too, but they dont really specialize in coilovers. That is one of my concerns. Any other opinions?

I have been using the T1R coilovers for awhile and like them alot. They are easy to adjust and work great at the track. I posted the fasted lap of the day at Pocono in May on the East track (1:13:43) and placed first in the Time Trial. I'd recommend getting the pillow ball mounts with them. They add performance plus allow easy ride height adjustments with out changing the preload or having to disconnect the coilover.

I also have had T1R coilovers for some time now and would have to agree with Tel1sps.

I am Running the T1R Rmax setup and I think they are great. Ride very well IMO on the street. Its not a cady but its a good solid feel. As for the track I havent tested them much yet but the fall dragon meet will put them through every kind of turn I want. IMO for the money they are the best you can find.
