Zeal Function X Coilover

AlWakRa

Hello everybody,

After asking about coilovers over here
Time to upgrade the suspension ...
I thank everybody who chimed in his advise or opinion and at last I decided to go for Zeal Function X due to being made by reputable company (Endless), priced right with a great shipping cost and QAR/JPY rate has been improving recently.

Other parts I got

- SPL Front Camber Arm
- SPL Rear Camber Link
- SPL Rear Traction Link
- SPL Lockout kit

Specification of the coilover as follow:

- Steel Construction, Chrome plated.
- Mono tube with 30 click adjustable damping.
- OEM style rear suspension.
- 12kg spring rate front and rear.
- Independent height adjustment.
- Upgraded front coil springs to X-coil R.
- Has been told they will retain OEM height with -60mm range.

I didn't install them, actually I am waiting CJM RRP to arrive so I can go to the workshop at once. From the look and feel, they really feel like a quality parts and the front with the upgraded springs feels light, but the rears are heavy, will try to get weight figures at the shop in two to three weeks time.

For the time being will leave these photos





















And I cannot have a post without questions

First, the alignment, after researching, I decided to go as follow

Front camber -2 caster 5.5 toe 0
Rear camber -1.2 toe in 1/8

keeping in mind that my wheels wearing PSS tires currently, after changing to better rubber like RE71r, PSC2 or R888r I will increase camber to -2.5 or -3 front and to -1.8 or -2 rear.

Do they look alright?

Then, I have whiteline swaybars on the car with front at soft setting and full hard rear, I like how the excessive understeer at turns exit reduced and would like to get opinions on whether to keep the car at same setting or to return the default setting at first and then change to my liking.
