Cusco coilover diffs?

Can someone tell me what the difference between the three types of cusco coilovers are? spring rates and such would also be helpful...and anyone's personal experience (minus bozz evo..no offense or anything, but you have cusco everything, so im guessing you already think rather highly of them).

springs rates are all the same, all are dual height adjustable (very nice feature, as you can lower the ride height without preloading the springm, whcih causes an effective change in the spring rate)

Zero 1 is height only adjustable

Zero2 adds 5 way dampening adjustment

Zero 2R is inverted and 5 way adjustable - inverted tends to react a bit faster, though having driven the 2 on WRX's and other cars, I have never noticed a big difference at all.

All available for immediate shipping too (shameless plug, I know

Adam

edit: had the info correct, but labellebd the coilover names wrong....

Z1 has it wrong in some of the info.

Zero 1 does not have 5 way adjustability for dampning.

Zero 2 and Zero 2 R does.

Also, only Zero 2 R is inverted.

Not to brag, but no one knows more about cusco products on this board than me.

Don't let the seemingly smal level of adjustment fool you. Sure, some coilovers have more adjustment range, though that does not mean its better. For example, the Tein Flex is a very popular model for the Evo; even though it is 16 way adjutable, I have found a similar overall adjsutment range between full stiff and full soft when compared to the Cusco Zero 2's.

For sways, the recommended size is the 25mm front and 23mm (adjustable) rear.

The other sizes are primarly for gravel use.
