I have owned TEIN NAs, TEIN HAs, and currently own Zeal B6s. I have installed the JIC FLTA2s that the buy is about on a freinds race car.
I have been very frustrated with the performance of the Zeals. I had to change spring rates in the rear to get rotation like I wanted and honestly I still have a damping issue with the front shocks.
I am considering changing to the JICs after driving my freinds car and since I have installed them I have seen the quality first hand. Zeal has better quality than TEIN in my opinion but JIC is tops as well and the performance aspect JIC seems to be the best.
Cost wise the JIC is also one of the cheaper options which isn't usually the case. Mugen low downs are pricey for what they are if you are comparing Zeals and JICs to suspension the Mugens are a step below in height and stroke adjustability. BC's works as well but when money comes back up you can't beat JICs.
That said the setups I woudl recommend you doing your homework on are:
Zeal B6/S6
TEIN RE (Anything less lacks stroke independence)
JIC FLTA2
Buddy Club Racing Dampers
I can't speak for the TEIN RE but the HAs were good but the ride is no where as nice due to a cheaper damper design.

Sign up for these...I want the group buy to go through. This is a VERY SPECIAL opportunity. Do you see Mugen going on sale ~$200 off???
I didn't think so. We only need a few more people to help out our sponsor & help out ourselves.
