Thumbs up So i picked up this huge box today=Special Zeals:) early b-day gift 2 myself...

It fit well in the car...(yes i know my car is filthy)


Gotta love japanese slogans


Told you i was special




Front and rear coilovers (go bruins!-cheston)


Rear shock adjusters:




Dust boot





and last but not least...
JDM newspaper


ok well, this is my second set of zeals. i've been waiting for a couple months just to get them. i've been jealous of my friends who are running these rates, and figured i should treat myself. this time, function x. 30 way adjustable with rear coilover option. gonna put these on asap birthday is not for another month, but as luck would have it, they came in a month early

i must thank kent and dominic @ endless/zeal usa, brandon for tempting me, michi for the same reason as brandon!

what are the rates? true coilover setup? or seperate springs and shocks?
Let us know how the ride is on the street.

front and rear shock in the pic here:


rates are F:16kg/mm R:14kg/mm

i can already tell you the ride is very good for the rates you get, couple friends have similar rates with one being 18kg/mm front. its stiff, but not uncofrtable. rides better than off the shelf tein flex and jic coilovers imho.

and yes, they are not only from a dealer, they are fron Endless/Zeal USA themselves

how far can you go with the rates before it gets uncomfortable compared to stock?
which dealer did you get them from? or did u go directly through endless usa? how much were they?
would you agree that a true coilover is no harsher than a coilover with seperate springs and shocks both being zeals.

18/14 is the highest anyone we know has used on their Z
and everybody with rates that high has true coilovers in the rear, so we cant really compare them.

he goes direct through endless usa.
try giving warreng@speedalliance.com a call or email.
I don't know where cupertino is, so i cant recommend someone nearby.

ride is great. love them

if you want, try going through aspec or mynismo possibly. they can get you quotes and i believe they carry "off the shelf" zeals in stock.

i'll get back with a review after my track day...

Think running 12/10 in LA streets is a good idea?
I'm moving to LA and I'm on hipermax RS currently. Car still has lots of roll in it.
