GX81 Coilover options.

I'm beginning to search for some GX81 Coilovers.
I know JZX81 will fit, and I also believe X81 H/T Coilovers will fit in GX81 Sedan too. So as for the search, i've stuck to Y.JP and really only found a few buyable options.

Most common seem to be JICs which don't have the best reputation among X81 owners.
Also found a few TEIN setups which i hear are better but still a tad soft.
Gmasters exist too but none secohand, and Keioffice's never come up and when they do... they are priced to kill.

Before i broaden my search, i'm looking for some coilover advice for X81 just to help me along the way. E.G what to avoid, what is best and even some leads to finding some to buy.

ANY advice/help is hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance

all x8 suspension is the same, even the live axel and irs rears interchange.

i have both tein and jic in my cars, yea i agree the tein is a bit soft, the jic are much stiffer, i prefer the jic but they arent captive so used the teins in my road car.

dont get bc's they are shithouse

pretty much all i can say, kei office ftw obviously

basically reaffirming all I have heard and found. Agreed on the BCs.
Finding a set of Tein's is going to be fun...

cheers

Now hurry up and get them in, manual it, and get the MK1s on.

manual first (before March hopefully) and coilovers as SOON as they arrive, then some guard attacking may have to happen for the MK Is
