Damn, and I JUST ordered Zeal Function B6 coilovers from ACP.com on Monday. How do they compare to the B6s? Anyone know?

The Zeal B6's are a much better coilover. I wouldn't even compare the Zeal B6's to the Tein Super Streets. I'd probably compare the Zeal b6's more to a midpoint between the Tein HA's and Tein RA's. The zeal's come with the complete upper mount. The tein super streets are more comparable to the Apexi WS dampeners IMHO.

You made a good choice with the Zeal B6's.

I thought SS's were comperable to HA's, only the SS's don't have a helper spring.

The ss's are a coilover setup made for the USA. Supposedly the spring rates aren't as stiff and there is no upper mount. The HA's can be bought with the upper pillowball mount. I've never actually ridden on the tein ss's. If I were to purchase tein's I'd probably go with HA's though.

The upper pillowball mount is available for the SS's, costs 400 bucks though.

I'd rather get the HA's then. You can easily find the HA's for about 1400 with the upper mount, at least for the subarus you can. I'm not sure on pricing for hondas though.

OK, I’m somewhat of a novice on suspension mods.

The way I read is that you can adjust the stiffness and height of the car…right ???

The fronts could be easily adjusted by raising the hood, but how would you adjust the rears without removing the back seat?

Tein SS vs. Apexi WS

I'm really questioning the difference between the two.

I have some Apex'i WS on order for a really good price and will be willing turn them around to get the TEIN SS if they are really much better.

Other than the adjustable damper is there anything that makes the Teins better?

Granted they are not Zeal B6 coilovers...

Some I think you can adjust right up in the wheel well

hey guys, the HA is actually supposed to be the same exact thing as the SS. At least it is for the Accords. All TEIN did was get the HA coilovers that they had for the accord wagon, test fitted it on somone's(AccordingToMe from AV6) car and is selling the same part under a different name.
