Hey guys,

I just got my Zeal (from Japan, made by endless) Function B6 coilovers installed. Haven't really test it out yet, but here are some of my opinions:

With the stiffness turned to 3 (there are 6 different stiffness rating) and a drop of 1.5', the car feel pretty much like stock. The handling is better since the car is lower and has less body roll. It's kinda hard to distinguish if the car is lowered or not because the stock height is very low. But if the wheels' offset is not as positive, I think the lowered effect will stand out more.

I got them from Japan. I paid bout 2000 dollars for them or 3000 Cdn. But I think that's the best 3 grand I've spend.

I haven't try the Tein's yet, but from I've heard from others, the Tein's are more stiffer which makes it not as for everyday driving as the Zeal. Also, I heard that people complaints about the Tein's start to rust quite fast. I personally like Zeal becasue from the complaints that people have on the Tein's (rust, too stiff, and shorter lifetime, etc).

I think it's a good product to buy. You can checkout the GB on this unit on the Group Buy section.

Zeal coilovers are available through yours truly, and if enough people are interested, a GB can be easily arranged. Please email me for prices.
