What coilovers are you guys running?

What coilovers would you guys advise to get if i was to change from my TEIN SUPERSTREET (As you cant go low at all with them :(

Taking in mind i would a decent drive to it, not to harsh...

I\'m using MeisterR\'s .. http://www.meisterr.com/Site/MeisterR_Precision_Performance_Coilovers.html

15 Setting for damping (the softest is pretty cushiony and the hardest ridiculous!), they can go pretty low out the box, but if you want to go even lower without changing the spring preload the company can provide shortened damper inserts which would literally put the car on the tyre :D
I\'ll get some pics up when I get them off my phone that shows how low they went on the front :)

Are you running camber? If so, what camber arms?

Do you have any tyre wear issues? as yours is pretty damnnnn low :Thumbsup!

FD\'s come with adjustable camber/caster arms as standard and at the lowest I had mine they were still within a good range of adjustability, I currently run about 1 degree neg camber all round and the tyre wear is nice and even. Just make sure you get your geometry done after lowering the car or it will kill the tyres regardless (somewhere decent too like A-line, not kwik fit etc)

Also just noticed on the meisterR site that they have some Fd coilovers in clearance stock http://www.meisterr.com/Site/Clearance.html -£429 for brand new warranteed coilovers! ridiculously good price :P

Yeah, I had Meister Zeta S Coilovers on my EK9 (Previous car)…And it handled like a DREAM.

But think I better start saving up for these bad boys, as I have a few important bits to do on my FD. But will fork out the buck these in a few months.

How does your FD feel through bends and cornering with these Coilovers? ;)

my coilovers are zeal/endless

I know this is a sort of half answer but it really depends on the damping settings.. I can\'t fault them really, they are on par with the (triple the price++) buddy club coilovers I had on my old FD, UK company too, couldnt be arsed with having to send them back to japan or whatever.

If i\'m going for a spirited drive down some twisties i\'ll normally knock them up to about 7-10 clicks (out of 15), does a grand job. In the terrible, terrible roads around Coventry prob leave them on about 3.
It has highlighted how worn out my anti roll bars are tho, that\'ll be the next handling mod.
