I'm asking because it seems like no one on here or other forums are using cusco coilover. I thought they're very good and they're in rallying car and Japanese GT cars. Why people don't like them for 240sx?

$$$$ is why most ppl dont need a full race suspension setup, i track my car occasionaly and went with stance gr+'s and i cant wait to get um, not to mention there $500 cheaper, but something like your talkin bout is overkill

if cusco zero-2r coilovers system go for about $1600-1700 is that a good deal? they're top of the line coilovers. How does it compare to other system such as Stance GR+ pro or JIC FLAT2 or ect.

I absolutely love mine. i have the zero 2's. Im not sure if they were worth the money, and they are a little too agressive for the street. I hate driving it in the city, but they are soooo worth it on the track. i have driven kei office and tein superdrifts, and by far i like my cusco's much more. not too sure if i like them enough to spend the extra cash tho.

are they stiffer than other coils? I thought they're 8front 6rear? Why don't you like them for the street?

I know Broadfield runs them on his s13 and I absolutely love them. They ride great, very firm but much less bounvy than other budget coils Ive riden on.

They are miles ahead of my Tein Basics, and much more stable and predictable than the Stances GR's I rode on. I would highly reccomend them.

However, you have to realize that they wont slam the car to the ground. On their lowest setting they are still higher than most coilovers at full-low. But than again they are a performance coilover and not just some show-slammed ****.

do you know how much stiffer they're? like the spring rate? like stance is 8kg/6kg. I tried searching but couldn't find anything.

Im honestly not sure on the spring rates. Everythhing that comes with the coilovers is in Japanese anyways.

If you want a good deal on Cusco's though, contact Toby Broadfield. Heres his contact info..zer...46469

can you drift with you FD and cusco coilover? is the spring stiff enough?

mine is 7/5 so I'm not sure if that's enough for drifting. Do you know how much to get a 10/8 spring set from cusco?

I don't see a lot of people drifting with cusco coilover
