Coilover Applications for 99-03' TL

I know this is the most obvious and Tein is probably the company to buy from as far as a coilover system goes, but what other companies make applications for our car. Reputable companies with GOOD coilovers. Not Skunk2. No offense, I've seen their coilover and although it is affordable I doubt it can stack up to Tein. So who else makes a good application?

I have K-sports....they're pretty firm. I think the spring rates are 13f/11r ? I never rode in a car with Teins or Apexi, so I can't compare them.

I was wrong in my last post.....the rates are 13k in front and 7k in rear. Again, they are stiff.....Teins rates are 7K/4K.

Another Ksport user here - they come in 13/7 for our application. What's your settings at Pistacio?? And just to let you, by far, you got the best wheels on this site for a TL! Props

Thanks!! (many will disagree though)

I honestly don't know where they are set. I think I set them on the "soft" side, if there is such a thing (1/4--1/3 of a turn away from the softest setting?). I really haven't messed with them since I installed them. I'm considering changing the springs for a little less aggressive spring rate.

Zeal is the one to aim at. Save up $2200-2400 and you're set.

that's kewl - ive been adjusting mines a few times since i bought it. I haven't found the right one yet where there's enough comfort and performance. Anyways, the many who disagree have no taste! haha dats a good choice bro! You interested in getting more sets of rims? I'm looking into some works/mugens/oem...but everything so bank!
