I was just wondering if anyone is running a Zeal coil over set up? If you are, how do you like them?

 

Mr B (brian) has them on his Z...

is pretty good for drifting, but its pretty stiff for the street-.. i believe Ihatebobbarker is looking into getting a set too-

you might want to ask them--

my review on function v6 is on this thread.

 

yea, brian has a fully converted rear coilover while brandon (ihatethatbobbarker) is running the "stock" zeal setup. i have experienced both and they are absolutely superb

 

I have the stock zeal setup, I've only had them at an auto-x a couple times since I got them a month ago but I picked up quite a bit of time. I haven't noticed understeer entering or exiting corners, you just have to use the throttle at the right time to transfer the weight of the car.

On the street, i usually drive on the 1st setting and the car is moderately stiffer then stock (similar to a stock m3). anything higher then the 3rd setting is far too stiff for downtown roads or freeways with ripples.

 

hey briang35,

could you go to the suspension FAQ and post up a review of your Zeal coilovers? Im trying to get all this organized for my350. here is the link:

good to hear other members is happy with this setup.
just want to clearfy..i'm just saying this setup doesnt eliminate the understeer nature of the car when exiting apex.btw, i'm running 235/265 staggered tires setup, perhaps thats the reason of our difference openion?

 

Could be, I'm using the stock staggered michelin pilots at 225 and 245. I consider understeer more of a corner entry speed issue then a setup issue though after driving FWD cars for so long.
