Cusco zero 2's. Vs. Tein flex Pull the triggeR?

I think i have a good deal for the zero 2's Only $1184, Before i pull the trigger, iwould like to know which coilover is best for me. I want to maintain a decent ride quality, and the adjustability of edfc would be a plus. Which one of these coilovers would be better suited for everyday use with light track usage.

Sorry, ive never ridden on coilovers so i wouldnt know what to expect. Which one is the better buy. I know the teins go for around 1200 too. Please let me know whichone is better and why. Currently im riding one blown struts and 1.8 spring so anything in terms of ride quality is a plus.

$1184 is a great deal, go with those Cuscos. Both coilovers are good for light track duty, but the Teins with EDFC will run you about $1800.

i have no exp. w/ the teins but i have the cusco zero-2's going over 3 yrs now. As for daily driving in socal, don't expect the greatest ride over gaps or any kind of road that has potholes or sudden changes in height from one road section to another (usually at bridges/overpasses). The car will crash somewhat over this kinda surface and your passengers will definitely feel it. This or most coilovers are not the best street option. Having said this...i still have my setup anyways for mostly daily driving cause im willing to deal with it. For track days its great, btw...which is why i deal with the harsh ride.

They're both great products, but the price you were offered on the Cuscos was a steal. That's why I recommended those. Neither one will have a great ride on poorly paved roads, but both will rail on the track.

The Teins are more forgiving on the street than the Cusco, on the track the Cusco are a better bet.

tech7droid: for the price you're getting for the cusco's it really is a good deal. I paid over twice that. are the ones you're getting new btw?
