Zeal like the rest of the reputable suspension makers in Japan have more than one version to suit different application/usage. Has anyone gone to the website to check out what's available? http://www.endless-sport.co.jp/product/zeal/

There are currently a few options to choose;

L1 - Function B2 (Primary Street & Light Winding Road/Track Use) - Height Adjustment & 6-Way Damper Adjustable | 2 preconfigured spring rates - Street: F6K R6K, Track: F8K R8K

L2 - Super Function AKA Z (Very lightweight design + lighter springs (Known as Zeal Swift Springs), Street & Track applicable however recommended for Street use.) - Height Adjustment & 6-Way Damper Adjustable | 1 preconfigured spring rate - F6K R6K. * Note this spring rate is also for track usage.

L3 - Function B6 (Full aluminium constructed shock with even lighter weight than the above - Bias for Track Applicable) - Height Adjustment & 6-Way Damper Adjustable | 2 preconfigured spring rates - Street: F6K R6K, Track: F8K R8K

L4 - Function S6 * Flagship * (Full aluminium construction + Zeal Swift Springs - Highly recommended for Track only) - Height Adjustment & 6-Way Damper Adjustable | 2 preconfigured spring rates - Street: F6K R6K, Track: F8K R8K

Zeal is also about to release a new series - Function X incorporating their latest technology and development. Currently no catalogue or specifications available at this stage.

You can download the current Zeal catalogue here, but you'd need to have the Japanese version Acrobat Reader downloaded. http://www.endless-sport.co.jp/product/zea...al/function.pdf

Why do the SUPER FUNCTION's (L2) cost more $$ than the FUNCTION B6's (L3)??

Would the SUPER FUNCTION's be comparable to the BUDDY CLUB RACING SPEC coilovers????

What is the street price on the SUPER FUNCTION's?

What is the street price on the FUNCTION B6's?

Dealer's ... hit me with your best price on both

I tested a set of the b6 on the shock dyno. They were only 3-way adjustable, as settings 1-2 were the same, 3-4 were the same and 5-6 were the same.

a Simple question


I am looking a good coilover, because I do not have Ayrton Senna butt I do not want a coildover with 15 set up position, I prefer something more simple with 3 set up.

any recomentation, Spainish roads are have bump and sometime I go to the track (once a month)

Thanks and sorry for hijack the thread
