Well, since skyraskal got my interest piqued in these coilovers, I was wondering why those (ie astroboy) chose the B6 over the B2? It's nearly an 800 dollar difference I believe. An info would be much appreciated.

 

B6 is pure race. Stiffer spring rates mean better performance. B2 is street version, it's not so stiff so thus comfort is retained.

 

Thanks peiqinglong.

I wonder how it compares to the Tein SS and if it bottoms out at all.

 

The Tein SS are about the softest coilovers out there. They ride about as stiff as Comptech sport springs, but they bottom on crappy roads like no tomorrow. When I say crappy, I mean warzone crappy, which is what a lot of DC/MD is like where I travel.

The nice thing is the ride is very smooth with none of the pogo-bounce of race-stiff springs. This matters if you plan on having women in the car who probably aren't fond of a race-stiff suspension.

Great ride quality, just take good care to watch the road and slow appropriately for uneven pavement.

 

yup i agree with JRock, that is what i've heard too. just gotta be careful that's all. but that is the case with any lowered car.

I'm choosing the Zeal's Function-B6 because it is a sportier and more "race" tuned suspension.

if you want to get the B2 i can talk to the guy i know and see if he can get you a discount on the b2 if you want. just let me know

otherwise drop in the B6 like i am!!!! GO FOR IT!!!
