What's wrong with the Apexi Coilovers?
I have them on my TL and it is great.

The Zeal B6...wow....It has adjustable stroke, and 6 way stiffness adjustability. That is nice. LEVEL 4 suspension for the TL. I like that, maybe when I get the TL type S.

Here is the link BTW:

i say damn cuz i waited almost 2 years for fully adjustable coilovers, but decided on apex'i because i needed something for nopi nationals next month. don't get me wrong, apex'i coilovers are great and are quite forgiving, but it could've been better.
but for $850, how could you go wrong? i'm happy with what i paid for.

The Zeal function B-6 coilovers are awesome! Thanks Tim for getting them for me!
My main focus for getting these coilovers was to lower the height and maintain exact stock ride or smoother/softer! This setup did it! Not only is it smoother than stock, I can just change the dial to adjust ride dampering to a more race like suspension.
The best thing I like about it is that you can adjust the height independently from the damper!
I do not regret buying this setup yet!

i was just about to ask about those =)

autocarparts told me that ZEAL coilovers were better than Apex'i, Mugen, Comptech, even Tein. Is this true? I was originally planning on buying the Apex'i but now I'm considering buying the ZEAL even a price close to twice as much. Does anyone know the main difference between the B2's and B6's? Thanks,

Jason
p.s. i have a 1999 Honda Accord V6.

Exclamation

Yeah lets have the breakdown as to what the specific differences between the B Series, B2 Series, Function B6, and Basic Function models are.

Are all of them height and ride adjustable?
