Looks sick man, such a bargain for $1200 bones.

10/12 is not bad at all. actually quite on the soft side for "JDM" coilovers.

For a Skyline that is high, they tend to have lower spring rates because of where the coilovers mount on the knuckle. If it was an A-arm suspension setup like a jzx110 or jza70, or a wishbone setup like civic`s then they tend to have a higher spring rate. If you want to change the spring rate on your gtr you can cut the mount points and moving them in, out or up on the knuckle, All make a difference in the leverage placed on the strut assembly

wow, do you pay retail on everything?

and no, those arent function XS's either, they are just super oldschool zeal functions.

and falcon, just because you cant find them, dosnet mean they dont exist hahah.

OP, im not saying your suspension is crap, im just pointing out the fact that for a little more you could have bought a brand new set. when you originally said it cost you $1700 usd for the rebuild, $1200 cad a pretty good deal then for freshly rebuilt Zeal Functions with swift springs

these are function XS however the internals were replaced with function X parts...

retail brand new from zeal/endless for function Xs is 2400 US...brand new function X is STARTING with 8/6K spring rate is 3200 US...

you find them for 2000 ill buy them now...

Not to continue with the off-topicness, but here are the true Zeal prices as there seem to be some confusion.

TunerLab is an authorized Zeal/Endless dealer.

Zeal Function XS BNR32 7/6: 201,600 JPY ($2,047 USD)
Zeal Function X BNR32 9/8: 243,600 JPY $2,473 USD)

I've looked.

A lot.

They are the main coil I am looking at for my FD. And the prices for them are all similar for all makes/models (cars).

So far I found them for $2100 USD. That's the cheapest. And it's not for lack of trying.

[got_boost!]

That's an amazing set up for a wicked price man. Nice find.

[Skym]

For that new price, wouldn't you expect remote fluid resouvoirs, EDFC, etc, as those Zeal/Endless coilovers are supposed to be close to top of the range HKS, Teins, Cusco, etc???

[falcon]

Zeal only makes one remote reservoir coil. And it's worth more than my left testical.

The X and XS have some of the BEST shock dyno results from any coilover system PERIOD.

If you want a quality coilover for less than Ohlins, moton, penske etc.. Zeals are the way to go.

and sorry, I would hardly call teins and cusco top of the range.

HKS is getting there but teins (unless you buy the uber baller $$$ ones) are just another basica bang for the buck coilover.

[falcon]

obviously you've never shipped coilovers from Japan.

I have.


It's not cheap.


Add another $300 MIN if you want to see them anytime in the next 6 months

That's ok, it's just what I have read somewhere and was a bit curious about where they stack in the best to worst coilovers in Japan.

I think Bilstein are close to Ohlins and Bilsteins are alot cheaper than Zeal.

The R33GTR, R32GTR in this Super Lap have Ohlins and the EVO has custom Bilstein's -

Also as far as I know the Gibson R32GTR had Bilstein shocks and ran 61? seconds around the same racetrack.

That's why I fitted custom Bilsteins to my car and they feel similar to the Nismo/Ohlins setup on my mates GTR racecar. I can understand why Nissan fitted Bilsteins to the R35GTR and Nismo fitted Bilsteins on the R33 400R, SpecV R35GTR.

You can get Bilstein's from Bilstein Japan -

Bilstein makes all TRD factory suspension8-)

it depends on which kind of bilstein, but the BPS stuff is very expensive, ~ 250,000JPY ish + exporter fees and shipping, about the same as the Ohlins DFV, which is also super badass.

obviously, every company has a cheapo line that they sell, so you cant really compare a lower end cheap bilstein to a more expensive model of Ohlins, but i agree with falcon on this one, when comparing apples to apples, Zeal is alot cheaper than an Ohlins or Bilstein coilover in the same class.
