i want to just stiffen up the dampers a tad more. coilovers are overkill for me on this car, but if i dont have any choices, then i will probably do the KW's for durability and ride quality.

:tup:

damn I want coils for the Z let alone DD :icon17:

I had them on Z32 once they were installed the car was a whole new beast :driving:

really? Im very fine with the stock setup + front kangaroo swaybar on the Z. :tup: for my roads here, the car feels fantastic.

sounds good on the KW's. ive read great things about them. ive not tried KW's, so this is why i want to try :) all of the coilover setups ive ran in the last 15+yrs were all from japanese manufacturers.

:icon18: i was young 20yrs ago... if i do it today, i would probably say, 'hey kid, you can do it' and let some other do it for me.

I like the setup I have now because I have drop and spacers, I should consider some sway bars though for the mean time.......

I had Tein street flex coils for my Z32 and loved it made the stance and drive so much better, but then again I don't know what suspension was in the car when I bought it :icon17:

:tup: sounds goood.

ive had pretty decent and not so decent experience with TEIN products (coilovers and springs) in the past. big bang for the buck.

the first thing i didn't like was that their springs and housing would chip/crack away and rust if driven in the winter. even driving through a dry winter day with salt on the ground, the paint would start chipping away. :eekdance: but did not seem to affect function at all. not sure if TEIN fixed that.

also the S-techs sagged like a mofo after about 4yrs on my G. :icon17: my car was completely out of alignment by then, so swapped to eibachs (since swifts were not available at the time). :)

eibach's paint is holding up fine. the swifts on my Fit are fine as well after driving a seaons in the winter salt. :D
