Other manufactors coilovers

[brizanden]

OK so i have been lookin around for coilovers and just reading and stuff. Now the more i read the more i hear how all the "JDM" companies produce the same crap no matter how u slice it. I was reading about some full prepped race cars and saw some companies they use like KW and Robispec. I saw KW makes coilovers, but i had trouble findin any for a 95-98 240sx. Also robispec makes custom applications, but are they only for evo's or can they basically make u suspension for anything? Any info would be great.

ALso a quick note i dont want full racing shocks, i just saw they have normal occasional track use coils in some cases.

not a lot of 240 guys ride KW... but I heard good reviews on them as far as the honda guys go.

and what do you mean that all JDM coilovers make the same sh1t? Not true... I mean, when you're spending less than $1000 on coilovers, you really can't expect much more than your average entry level feel. BTW, there are literally tons of JDM companies to choose from...

[brizanden]

yeah i know there are tons. just when i read autox threads about how people have tested a couple companies even JIC sucked pretty bad. And no i do not mean like megans or anything like that i was lookin at stance al gr+'s but seems they are just fashionable now and a couple people have told me they arent much greater then anything else. The thing is i want to eventually get into like a scca touring class (far ways off) and want to get a suspension set up that is entry level but still is good enough to keep me competitive. Also i dont wanna waste money to jsut have some coilovers now and then buy better ones later. would rather just buy nice ones then if they break i can rebuild them.

There are a couple of companies that make quality parts for your ride.

I responded in the other thread you asked me about.

Do your research online about a koni/ground control setup. Worth every penny if done correctly.

Edit: Check on zilvia, theres a guy who makes custom housings for drop in koni's. Be prepared to wait though, theres a long waiting list.

[brizanden]

ok thanks ill read up on that. the response in the other thread is what i am hearing alot of from serious autoxers and what not. What about kei office? basically the same crap as stance, tein, and what not?

Umm from what i hear, don't bother, they aren't in business anymore so they are insanely hard to get rebuilt if they blow. Quality, I'm not sure, I can't really say, I don't really have personally experience.

I rode in an s13 with them on when I was like 16, I got a headache, they are rough, haha.

I don't know if you read sanjuros thread or not, but he's on the right track.

^haha alright cause i just met a dude who goes to japan all the time so he told me he could grab some prolly at the up garage or whatever its called.

[BippuBoss]

Not all companies are made the same. Some have quality parts, and others well lets just say don't have what you want. Look around and go for price and performance.

[brizanden]

^lol thx for that one... never heard or known that
