I'm finally in the market for a new suspension setup on my SV6. So far I've decided on a set of Coilovers, and I've narrowed it down to either Teins or Pedders XA's. Im looking for some feedback from people that own or have driving with either kits.

The car will only be used on the street, so looking for something with decent handling, yet still comfortable.

We have a set of Tein's on my 180sx, and they are great, but very stiff/harsh for everyday driving.

Another major factor is that I can get the XA's from the local pedders store, but I'll have to post the Tein's from down south.

Cheers in advance for any feedback!

Lol - that is like choosing between 6 star dining and MacDonalds.

Sweet, looking forward to it!! I'd love to see how low these can go....

You won't be disappointed. If it helps I have mine set at 18-15 I think (or close to), which seams good for Townsville roads..

Hahaha sweet!!

Nah didn't bother with a Camber Kit, was told it wouldn't be necessary. Camber is fine, only a slight negative camber if any..
