Default Zeal Function coilovers and Racing Brake 2 piece rotors, AWESOME!!!

So I got 10 days and about 500 miles with these Zeal Function 20kg/16kg coilovers plus Racing Brake 2 pieces rotors and pads. All I can say is, AMAZING!!! The super stiff ride took a while to get used to, I love the feel of the car now. I can't wait for my TE37 to be done in a new powdercoat so I can truly dialed in my suspension/handling department. BC coilovers with Swift springs were good but these Zeal are way better. More in dept reviews once I get my TE37 with Michelin PSS on the car in a couple of weeks

Yes, I picked up a used 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 set from a 350z owner. They are 10 years old so the wheels can use a new coat to make them fresh again. None were bent or cracked so I'm very happy about that.

Looking good and it seems that the rear hats are fixed!


I find it interesting that Megan offers just one upper arm as a camber adjustment rather then both of them and I'm curious of how much adjustment it gives you.
Do you have an adjustment on the lower arm for camber as well or are you doing it all from the top?
How much can you pull the top in before the upper arm #1 starts to push?

Thanks, got it all taken care off.
I have upper camber arms and toe arms. I was able to go as high as -3.5 camber before the stock toe arms couldn't bring the toes in. I went to -4 and had to get the toe arms. Megan does offer the lower control arms, I just don't think I'll be needing them. I'm going back to -3 or less with my TE37 setup

It is! 16kg rears don't help either. I smile big when I see smooth roads here in SoCal, which is pretty rare!!

I can imagine. I live in AZ where the roads are pretty damn smooth ( no earthquakes . I grew up in LA) relative to LA but I still damn some roads that have me bouncing even on stock setup. I can only imagine what yours feels like. Must corner like a beast. Enjoy brother and in the end we all adapt to what we have and it becomes normal.
