    A little bit cheaper than KSport and they look the same except different color. I say go for it. I'm sure most coilovers are made in the same factories in China anyway ..

    I'd say go for it. ASE*Tech knows his stuff. My rule of thumb is "if ASE says its good, its good."

    12kg is REALLY stiff.

    Here are the coilovers available for the 300zx. I know its not the same car but it could give you an idea of what spring rates certain coilover brands are.

    Stock Springs for a 300zx:

    Front:
    3.0 kgf/mm (168 lb/in) Coupe & 2+2 NA
    2.8 kgf/mm (156 lb/in) Twin Turbo

    Rear:
    2.2 kgf/mm (123 lb/in) Coupe & 2+2 NA
    2.4 kgf/mm (134 lb/in) Twin Turbo


    SPL (KTS)
    15 levels of dampening adjustment - F & R
    Front 8.0 kg/mm (448 lb/in)
    Rear 6.0 kg/mm (336 lb/in)

    Tein Flex
    16 levels of dampening adjustment F & R
    Front 8.0 kg/mm (448 lb/in)
    Rear 6.0 kg/mm (336 lb/in)
    Compatable with EDFC

    Endless (Zeal)
    6 levels of dampening adjustment F & R
    Front 10.0 kg/mm (560 lb/in)
    Rear 7.0 kg/mm (392 lb/in)

    Topline Aragosta
    12 levels of dampening adjustment F & R
    Front 7.8 kg/mm (437 lb/in)
    Rear 5.8 kg/mm (325 lb/in)

    Megan Racing
    32 levels of dampening adjustment F & R
    Front 10.0 kg/mm (560 lb/in)
    Rear 8.0 kg/mm (448 lb/in)

    SPL-Spec Zeal Super Function Type-C
    6 levels of compression dampening F & R
    6 levels of rebound dampening F & R
    (Total 36 way adjustable)
    Front 18 kg/mm (1008 lb/in)
    Rear 16 kg/mm (896 lb/in)


    Plus thats a huge difference between front and rear. Now im not sure what coilover kits are like for FWD but it just seems really stiff

    never tried any of those to be honest..just remember you get what you pay for..and sometimes it doesnt hurt to spend a little more for something that is reliable..
    not trying to discourage you or anything..just speaking from experiance..
    after getting sick of a bouncey suspension..i scrap my coilover sleeves and spent a little extra for some tien basics..

    riding low is like a religion

    to be honest..i love the teins, they ride great..not to stiff and bouncey at as skunk2 full coilovers.. i got lucky and got my teins for 450.

    you could always mix and match springs wit some good shocks but gotta keep in mind that those componentes are made to work together so just make sure your doin your research on the spring rates and so on..

    look into function form suspensions i know a couple of ppl that have them and heard nothing but good things about them

    riding low is like a religion

    If you want the ride quality you gotta spend the money. That combo is popular pretty much anywhere...I spent hours the other night reading up on other people setups. I read where atleast 2 people got rid of their GC/Koni combo for Tein with EDFC and regretted it. Shits almost double the price too which really surprised me. The cheap F&F setup does not have adjustable dampers though. The Koni's also have a lifetime warranty.

    what car do you drive? The GC/Koni setup isnt much more than the cheap F&F.

    630 for the F&F on weaksauce for your car...not a bad deal but also not much cheaper. Just make sure you do your homework...I have read SO many times where people wish they had not got what they did.
