Zeal is made more for coilover. They are stiff.

I good friend of with an Integra uses a Zeal B6 coilocer kit on his car for autoX, and they are a very impressive setup. But for everyday street use they are probably overkill.

I was running Zeal S6 on my ITR. I was very impressed with them. Very very stiff. I was running 12k/8k rates. They were really loud with the upper mounts.

I didnt daily drive my ITR, so as for daily driving, im not sure. But id say they can be a little rough on you.

S6 is more for circuit i believe.. i'm going for Function B6.. heard anything about those??

actually the 12kg / 9kg setup is for circuit.. they have a 10kg/ 7kg set up for street and B6 I believe is a little more streetable...

If you decide that the 10kg/7kg is fine. Then just go with it and tell us about it. My friend told me they were klinking and sqeeking. But I would love to hear more experience from other owners. After you get them, can you make a full review about it?

hmmm Zeal is one popular kit in japan.. and hmmm 2000 USD for a klinking and squeaking coilover? Mann.. that must suck...sounds like installer error to me.
