Imo everyones opinions varry on ride comfort.

I have cusco zero-2e in my car and so many people complain about them and I have back problems (extended weight on it hurts like hell) and they're fine tbh.

Best to go and try out cars with similar weight and spring rates.

Do not buy tien SS for trackwork. Don't buy cheap shocks if you want to do well at the track and stay alive on the street too. TODA DA :-)

Tein N1 for 1.5k? get me one too....as far as I know they worth about 3.5k plus you need custom springs.....correct me if I am wrong...if you can get it that price...get me one too.....I am using tein mono flex and they worth about 3k brand new...I can't see N1 can be less that mono flex....

How bouncy are they? They seem to have a similar spring rate to super streets. Stiffer in the back though. I'm looking for some new suspension and had my eye on these.
EDIT: Just had a look at some Tanabe coilovers too. They seem to be quite good for the price.

has anyone used Tanabe SUSTEC PRO FIVE Kit coilover before?

how is it compared to Tein Monoflex?

tein super street is only good for lowering your car and taking bumps, its way too soft

TYP32 is getting some for his DC5R soon as his Hypermax 2's are dying. PM him and ask to let you know how they compare when they get installed. If they made them for EG's I'd buy them.
