Yeah, I dont know what the problem was, maybe thats why the buddyclub guys where there to assist.

I've been doing some research into suspension has well. I was 100% on JIC FLT-FAS but wanted to find out more info on the sort of suspension to get to suit what I wanted to do especially since it's a pretty decent investment. I came across this which pointed me in the right direction

Daily driver, occasional spirited driving, non-competition
Cusco Zero1
Tein Basics
Tein Comfort Sport

Spirited driving, occasional autocross and/or track day
Cusco Zero2
JIC FLT-FAS
Tein Flex

Spirited driving, canyon carving, mountain runs, drift days
Tein Super Drift

Avid autocrosser and track junkie
JIC FLT-TAR
Tein Monoflex

Competition-level racing
JIC FLT-RS Custom Setup
Tein Super Racing

Seems the JIC FLT-FAS is the way to go for me

some of the boys in the states who use the JIC coilovers complain the shocks blow easily...

Tein Super Drift?
Tein Monoflex is basically same thing as Tein Flex.
Flex is discontinued and now its called "monoflex"
For Competition level racing, one of the names that popup often is Moton.
And also in your research you seem to only have, cusco tein and jic.
Looked into Buddyclub? They always have good reviews, what about some Blisten? Kw var2 if your after a more street application?

I came across that info on another forum, so I can't comment on those other brands and liked how they broke it down into the different categories. Maybe we should build a chart like that with approximate prices for people to have a look at??

Thoughts?

Tein Flex is not the same as Monoflex, it's a better product. Monoflex is a monotube designed coilover as Flex was twintube.

Racing : Moton, SACHS, Penske, JRZ just to name few :P, they are very expensive.

ohlins and quantum. personally if i had the money id be aiming at the ones with the external reservoirs....

[vyets]

Yeap, I know, would still call it the "new" flex lol. Monoflex looks better anyway, has a better green colour too it lol.

External resevoirs ftw! However it's a bit of a pain to get to the tanks to adjust them, I have to get on the fly and try squeeze half my body under my car, looking like an idiot lol.

What about HSD for the S2000? They have good reviews from the driftboys, wonder how they would do for the s2000. Talking about the HT series of corse :P The spring rates are 10k 10k.

I think the Ohlins only have the reseviors at the rear yes? Not sure on that one.

that's old ohlins...PCV

the new one is monotube...DFV...im using it...
