super drifts are up there with FLT A2's and tanabe DD's.

you can't really compared bottom of the line coils to top of the line coilovers

regular


Tein Basic / Megan Street / Megan Track / KTS / Apexi N1-EXV

mid grade

Tein HE / JIC FLT A1 / Cusco Comp 2 / D DRUG /

premium

JIC FLT A2 / Tein Super Drift / Tanabe DD / Cusco Comp 2R / HKS Hypermax D' / Kei Office / Apexi N1 Pro /


Lets get into my personal impressions of each

Tein basic - suck fail don't buy
Megan Street - decent for the money, dampening leaves much to desire
Megan Track - don't bother
KTS - does not go low enough, decent ride, decent hardware
N1 EXV - same as megan street
Tein HE - best bargain , dampening leaves a bit to desire, good learner coilover, goes low with some work
FLT A1 - good dampening, nicer hardware, best for street and track in this category goes fucking low
D DRUG -goes lowest, has craziest dampening, external resivoir so you can go low, 40 clicks is too many
Cusco Comp 2- good coilover, nice all around, hard to service in usa
FLT A2 - best dampening, awesome service in usa, nice quality, goes loowwww
Tein Super Drift - dampening is nice, spring rate is stiff, good quality, teins flagship for s chassis
Tanabe DD - most baller coilover for S13, dampenign is amazing, goes fucking low, oh did i mention goes low
Cusco Comp2R - another very good coilover feels stiff yet damped nice
HKS Hypermax D - very stiff very nice setup, uses nitrogen i believe expensiveee
Kei Office - never used these, drift factory is dealer, its keiichi so it must be half way decent
Apexi N1 Pro - favorite coilover of many over in japan, only ones i rode in felt awesome stiff yet firm, not bouncy.
