Need to get a new set of coilovers...

Was about to buy a set of Tein Super Street, but was talking to a guy at Diftworks who was recommending their 'Driftworks Control System Coilovers'
http://www.driftworks.com/cata.....overs.html

Reckons they're better than the Tein SS...

I'm a bit clueless about the details, so what do you reckon?

Anyone heard any opinions?

Not heard of HSD myself, dont think i'd buy them personally... also what about when you need them repaired?

Apparently HSD is well respected in AUS..

No reason why they can't be repaired... they're Driftworks products, so they would handle it, no?

Think I'm gonna go with Tein SS.

Don't need monotube, race shocks.

What about K-sport coilovers have heard alot of good things about these kits and reasonable money too.

Bren from apex performance is doing a discount on them on SO.COM for £475 at the moment!

One of the rears is knackered, and no idea what the fronts are (other than that they're Tein) so gonna replace the lot.

Might try and sell the 2 front, but with unknown mileage, not expecting much.

Don't know much about them to be honest, and had the Teins in mind from the start...

Was really tempted to sell it, but the market kinda dropped really badly at the start of the year... I would've ended up letting it go for silly money.

Got a Brands Hatch track day next week with MRC and needed some work doing beforehand... its up at J's now.

Got some Teins on the way - just hoping they get here in time to be fitted!
