SOLD
History
These were recently purchased from a local S2000 owner. It came off a garage queen, less than 100 miles on them - the previous owner ended up installing a different coilover due to a sponsorship opportunity.
No damage on these guys, just dust from sitting around. It took all of 1 minute of my time to clean up any dust and dirt on the shaft threads, and the collars spin freely...just like new.
I've been collecting parts these last couple of months, but I've decided to keep the S stock instead, and will be selling everything off.
Specifications
- 6 settings for adjustable dampening for rebound/compression.
- 16k Zeal x-coil springs all around.
- super lightweight aluminum body
- aluminum DIV free piston designed to stabilize rebound/compression levels as well as increases life
- pillowball upper mounts
- monotube shock
- adjustable lower collar to set coilover height independently from spring preload
Adt'l Info
missing original spanner wrenches, but will include tein spanner wrenches that are identical in function.
Price & Comparison
Bulletproof sells for $2930 new.

Not interested now, but had to comment.
Are you sure they are 16K Springs??
That seems EXTREMELY high and would totally ruin any street driving based on the Koni Double adjustibles I had experience with.
I had 10/12 K on my highly prepped Auto-X Forester and that was harsh.
Also, terminology wise you probably mean that they have 6 settings and are one-way adjustible. i.e. only one knob to turn. When someone describes suspension adjustments, the "way" part refers to how many knobs there are for adjusting. And, the more knobs, the more $
For example , 4-way adjustible shocks are typically >$5000 for a set.
This is just me and my engineering pickiness over duplicated terminology BTW
Just helping out. Been seriously into suspension education on my own.
Been buying and selling shocks now myself for about 4 years for Auto-X...

I am not too familiar about Zeals, but I know for fact that 4-way shocks exist in the high end market.

They have High Speed and Low speed Bump and Rebound adjustment.
Motons are what are typically used on full race cars you see on TV. Darren at west end alignment put some on his Civic project, should be a killer setup for him.

re: ploney
Saying '6-way' VS '6-adjustment' settings doesn't make one any necessarily incorrect over another. I can understand how 6-way can be misinterpreted, but from haste I had just grabbed the description off of bulletproofautomotive's site - and by definition, there's nothing incorrect in the description...although it could have warranted some clarification.
Thank you for that, and for the thread bump =P
However, no need to toss in your "engineering pickiness". I am a graduated mechanical engineer that has been working in the industry for several years already, and I wouldn't wish to associate your pickiness as something particularly engineering related.
Regarding your concern over the 16k/16k listing - it is as indicated off of endless.jp's website, as well as in the image attached that the springs certainly are 16k/16k and were listed correctly. The spring rates are fine as long as the shock and valving are tuned for this spring rate, which it is.
Also left out this suspension has an aluminum DIV free piston which stabilizes rebound/compression levels - which greatly aids in extending the life of the coilover irregardless of the stiff springs. pillow ball mounts included.

Much appreciated in your help for clarifying my post and your constructive opinions.

Sold the prelude off to someone in AZ back in Nov and picked up a S for daily driving. Still working on my RX7.
