    It’s refreshing that you folks are using this platform in the way that you do. I’m sure there are some others out there that are the same but it’s nice to see a relatively new face(s) to the UA-cam game and that their content isn’t centered around they themselves and “look what I (we) are doing !” 👊

    Awesome to see a spotlight on a properly good suspension company. A set of Koni dampers with high quality lowering springs like Eibach, or Swift will outperform ANY coilover that costs less than $1700.

      fed Z Teins are no where close to as good as a set of Koni race dampers with a Ground Control Eibach coilover kit and race top mounts.

    • @TestarossaMusicista
      @TestarossaMusicista 6 років тому +5

      Brendan Smith agreed. Teins are a good "tuner" suspension. Not a proper racing suspension like Koni, Bilstein, Ohlins, etc. They're in totally different leagues.

    • @brendansmith270
      @brendansmith270 6 років тому +2

    I'm running Koni's on my Acura Legend set on their lowest perch fwiw. It's low AF. But knowing what I know now, I'd gone coil-overs because I like to drag a little and CO's def handle better. Koni's are good tho' and the only aftermarket shock we should use on our 20 plus year old Legends. I've got the first one on this website and they had to add Legend as a model lol. Check it out folks :)
    ***Edited to add my Koni's are set on their lowest setting. Pretty low, but not quite coil-over low. EVEN THO" I did mention that. duh
