Im looking at some Tanabe Sustec Pro Spec 2 coilovers for $850 but i was wondering if there was a better street/strip coilover set up for under $1000

 

For under $1000 I am not sure I would spend the money on suspension. THe Type-R system is hard to improve upon based on auto-x and track times. YOu really need a suspension system with independent height to stroke adjustment. To get this you need the TEIN RE or higher. The JIC FLTA2 or better, the Zeal B6 or S6, the Buddy club Racing dampers and a few others. The cheapest of these suggestions is the JICs which can be had between $1400 and $1500. The Zeals are around $1600-$1800 these days and The TEINs used to be even more. Buddy CLubs are in the middle of these prices I think.

I would strongly suggest you save up a bit more and get the JICs. THe design is far better than the TEIN SS or Tanbe suspensions in the sub $1000 category.

 

thanks for the advice...i guess i will be stock for longer than I anticipated

 

I got some slightly used Zeal b6 for sale.

$1250. Let me know.

 

how many miles are on the zeals?

 

I don't think he has but a few miles on them. Scott just got them if I recall corectly.

 

I see the list of some quality stuff, Tein, Zeal B6, JIC, or BC pretty much taking the top honors.
What are the opinions on JIC vs. BC?

 

BC pwns JIC

I have to disagree. They are extremely comparable. I think it boils down to cost and preference. BC is pretty pricey compared to JIC form what I have seen.

 

98cwitr- You said BC owns JIC.....
I have heard similar, do you have any sources to confirm.

Also, I have read about some nightmare stories regarding JIC customer service and repair. Anyone know more about this?
