CoilOvers: GAT Garage, EndLess, Cusco?

Anybody have any opinion about the top 2 for each individual brand coilovers and how they compared to the following other brands: GAT Garage, Endless, Cusco?

I know from talking to few people that Tein HE are the best overall it seems for drifting, daily drive, and serviceability compared to JIC Magic FLT-A2 servieability (seems to be its downfall).

I have tein HEs and drift with them.





Now I have also had the HAs.

They are both great coilovers. The HEs are superior due to the dual adjustability.

Now I have personally gone to GAT garage. They are in the Bronx and I did so for one of my car club members that lives in Chicago that wanted the GAT coilovers.

They were building a 800hp drift car which looked pretty sweet.

Now their coilovers are not manufactured by GAT. They most likely manufactured by the parent company that makes D2 coilovers or the like.

Look into Endless and Cusco. Find out if they do the building themselves or if they purchase them from another source.

If they build them themselves they tech them themselves and that will cut down on your downtime.

Again I have done well with Tein and enjoy their ride quality here in NYC where the roads are horrendous.

I also drive this car with a full rollcage and an aluminum road race bucket.

My motor mounts are harder than your moms nipples when she sees my car.

The thing is stiff and I still tolerate the ride.

Good luck and good shopping.

Hahaha. WOW. Here is a recap:

This:


Was replaced with this:


Which had this on for a hot minute:


But I sold it because I needed the money and liked that these actually cast light:


Picked up this to tow the black car and to pick up gifts like this from friends for grip and soon to be mountain runs:


But no matter the nose or the motor or the color of the car this douchebag will always be causing trouble:
