| well i want to know what coilovers would be suitable for my soarer. i was thinking about TEIN Flex coilovers, seem to be a good bet going by what a few people have said bout their mates cars have got Teins, but they arent soarers. also who can get them? how much? any opinions? much appreciated |

| Tein Flex ride nicely, I've never ridden in a Soarer with one, but I have in an Accord Euro and a Civic and they ride nicely. The spring rates for the Tein Flex for the Soarer's a little on the heavy side though (14kg front/8kg rear) but some places are able to custom order a set of softer springs. I got quoted a bit too much for a set though so I might look at Tein SS when I get some cash. |

| I can recommend HKS HiperMax II coilovers. Firm but still comfortable. You won't need to replace kidneys every 5,000km like some coilovers. Adjustable damping and rebound rates, and about 5 inches of height adjustability. They are a shortened length unit from the factory, so you will still get proper travel when adjusted to low height. |

Like my old coilovers... I just haven't gotten around to replacing the kidneys yet |

| The issue of cross-compatability was raised- does anyone know if jzx90 suspension is interchangeable with soarer stuff? I'm pretty sure it's not but I'd love to be proved wrong |
