zeal suspension help
hey guys, i was looking on the website, i am trying to decide. Can someone tell me how the zeal v6 rides on the street on the website www.endlessusa.com here it what it says.
Oh and i use my car for daily driving, with occasional autox and spirited drives. I do drive rough sometimes too.
Zeal V6:
This steel-type, inverted-monotube type shock absorber is produced for specific vehicles with strut-type suspension. The shock absorber for this type of set up takes great abuse, thus side load attributes must be strengthened. An inverted monotube with a Friction-Loss Cylinder was developed for this matter. While using the Function Series' technology, we've produced the new Zeal model for high performance driving. The nitrogen gas camber is positioned higher up and farther away from the braking area creating less heat transfer and thus, less chance for overheating. Also, under-spring weight is now lighter enabling handling to become sharper, quicker, and more responsive. Our easy-to-read and use, 6-Way Piston Valve Shock (PVS) Dial mechanism adjusts the rebound/compression force with its Piston Valve Shock Technology, Level 1 being the softest and Level 6 being the stiffest. Dial can be turned either direction infinitely. Pillow Ball camber adjustable upper mounts for direct feel of suspension motion help to decrease piston rod tension. ID60 Basic Spring (Street or Hard rates) maintains stroke and ensures a "seated" fit with upper and lower portions processed to a flat cut. The Adjustable Shock-Stroke System is a separate, adjustable lower cup/bracket used for height adjustability which eliminates problem of sacrificing stroke and altering spring tension. Spin the mechanism over the threaded shock casing up to lower (and down to raise) vehicle height. All Zeal Function Series systems include this height-adjustable system.
it says its for high performance driving so i'm thinking driving on the street will give me headaches.
if not this i might go for the xs which is pretty street friendly, or so i've heard from some people.
anyways thanks for any help.

i ended up getting the zeal v6 with street springs. The setup is awesome. 6 way adjustable, 1 being the softest. i have it on 1 currently since im doing a lot of street driving. it's a pretty smooth ride, stiffer than stock, but i don't even really notice the difference too much. 6 though is stiff. I've gone on a couple of twisty roads in the bay and around tight turns, i got barely any body roll, that i could notice at the time. I can definitely tell a difference between the zeals and tein HA and flex, those are the only ones i can compare too, since i haven't driven other setups.
if you want some, contact autornd in the bay area.
