Which Coilovers? (Poll) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok well after searching some, etc., I've narrowed it down. I want to keep it under $1500 and will be doing mild racing/auto-x on this daily driver. Thanks.

I'd say get the HE, if you can. The Flex are nice, but a little soft when you're pushing it. Is this for an S13 or S14, because the spring rates are different for the Flex. I have an S13 and had the Flex for about 10k miles. They're GREAT for daily driving, but are only decent for track use. However, you could probably compensate for that 'decentness' with a THICK set of sways....

Thanks. This is for an S14. I think I'm just going to get some HE.

How much adjustablity do the HE's have? I know the damping has 16 settings but what about camber and ride height?

Dousan_PG · 12-30-2003, 12:16 PM

camber
when lowered i can get -3.5 out of fronts
can go VERY low

its nice. good bang for teh buck
worth the money

nokeone · 01-09-2004, 01:33 PM

agreed...tein HE are shizzle for a dah nizzle...

AadosX · 01-09-2004, 04:17 PM

If you want good coilovers and don't have tons of extra cash, HE is the way to go. If you can afford it though, I would get the JIC FLT-A2 because they have only one chamber and supposidly manage to be smoother yet stiffer. I just decided that for my use the $300 isn't worth it.

tein he. they are great. love the adjustability. and price is pretty good.

Levi@GTPRO · 01-24-2004, 11:17 AM

What's up Aaron it's Norm, Brian's friend. What do you think about the teins not having an inverted shock and thus a smaller piston? Did your's blow at dd6? Thanks!
