is it safe to assume they are used?....or new? Zeal coilovers are amazing. my buddy has a set on his FC and they are great but very stiff. driving on the street is pretty *****in. people complain that coilovers are stiff and they get tein CS to have a comfortable ride. the zeal are like almost not having suspension compared to stock. awesome for track...suck for street. i would be able to handle the harshness...most people dont want to do that.

i say just get a set of stance. it is cheaper and they can be serviced, if necessary, in the states. the valving on them is setup really well too. they are stiff but they are not bouncy.

although, if you have 2000 grand to throw on coilovers then go for it

when i drove the miata it was at a time attack so i guess i really wasnt paying attention to ride quality but they do kick ***. since my car is a daily and not a track car i probably should stay away from them.

Yeah I have those exact same coilovers. They are kinda ridiculously stiff, even on their "softest" setting (I do have 20's as well though.) I don't mind it at all, and it makes it totally worth it the first time you go around any corner at a decent speed, but I really wish they weren't quite as harsh when I'm riding with my wife or friends and such. Take that for what it's worth...
