Zeal coilovers

Does anyone know if they are really worth the money?
Can you use these to adjust the height of the car?
How much can you lower the car with em?
Anyone know about em?

The top of the line one allows height and dampener adjustability.

Ahhhh, Suckramento......

Im trying to decide what to do. I want to find a good way to lower the car, but im not sure how much lower it will be with the Zeals... Wondering if comptech springs and konis would be better...
I want the brembo kit too, so I dont know whether to get the brakes and comptech sways and springs for now, or go with the zeals and sways and wait for the brakes..

It is height adjustble and damber adjustable. It cost about $2100 and I might order them next week. Only one person I know has it he is on the TL board. Someone with a S2K.

I think Astroboy needed a certain part in order for the Zeals to fit. I could be wrong though.

He is probably waiting for the new upper mounts too, but it is suppose to be in anytime soon.

yup, I have the Zeal Function B6 coil overs...
these offer full ride height adjustability as well as damping and spring rate adjustability...
I am not putting them on until after the winter...no need to corrode them already...

I am waiting for new top mounts, but the stock mounts can be transferred and used it necessary...

Well, that's certainly a lot of coin...especially when you consider that you can get the Koni's and Comptech (and other) springs for about $830. If there were a large body of CL owners with Zeals that could testify to their superiority over other spring/shock solutions, it might make a more compelling argument.

Do the Zeals not come with the orrect upper mounts? Where do you get the correct ones?

Zeak forgot to measure the bolt pattern on the top plates...they left the bolts at the accord distance...unfortunately, our car is 100mm wider apart...
Zeal is manufacturing the correct ones and sending them to me...

Did they give you an ETA on delivery?

This makes me wonder if they are going to issue a recall to vendors with existing stock *or* if this is going to be like the AEM CAI, where a bunch of "early" models are sitting out in warehouses, without any date code or other identification to allow said parts to be refitted with the proper plates....


I'm interested in how they work out for you; please let us know (when the time comes).

I have the Zeal B6 Function which I bought on Nov,

yah they sent me a CF6 Accord Wagon Upper Mount, and now I am getting screw not be able to order a Accord one.

Astroboy, since you got the Accord Upper Mount, is it possible to sell them to me or let Zeal know to trade them to me?

It would be extremely helpful, I have been talking to Zeal for awhile, Zeal USA couldn't make much decision, they have to call Zeal Japan and see what happen. Which is already taken me like 5 months...... for now I have been sitting on Stock Upper mount.



Astroboy: my email is actein@hotmail.com, please please let me know.
