the drags are the best but wont be very nice on the road..... too wobblely.. ask jeff at RE:Worx.... if just for drag then they are the best as they are designed specifically for it.

i have had a few sets now on variuos cars mostly imprezas and RX7\'s though. i just don\'t like the way they ride. they are no different to any other coilover. When you look at Zeals or more so Tanabe, ok they cost a few hundred more, but they have different valving allowing for more damper adjustment. Tanabe have a patent design on their coilovers and i tell you what i have never been in a car that holds the road so well truely amazing. When you look at zeal they have many different kits that look very similar but when you look at the construction of the individual models you can see its the little things that make the huge differences. It also comes down to budget too. If your on a budget then the teins are great. The other reason that dealers love teins is because they have a UK rebuilding centre so its more convinient when they start to diterierate.

I had a set of Zeal function V6 coilovers on my old impreza they cost a bomb nearly 2k but they where worth every penny they out performed  the flex\'s in everyway possable.

I will be adding a similar set to the RX7 as soon as i have some cash to play with.
