Who makes better coil overs? HT Motorsports or FFP?

[Q-Ball]

I'm looking to buy some coil overs soon. But if I buy from Held, I would make a bigger order and save on shipping. My plan is from HT Motorsports is:

 

Front Coils Overs 350.00 http://www.heldmotorsports.com/WBody/Coilovers.htm

Trailing Arms (no price yet) http://www.heldmotorsports.com/WBody/Arms.htm

Front and Rear Strut Tower Braces (no price yet) From their site they should fit. http://www.heldmotorsports.com/WBody/Strut%20Braces.htm

 

And for FFP

Do you think I should just make the complete order from HT?

Thanks.

Most people here will say FFP rears and Held fronts. But you can get a better, bigger discount from Held if you buy the package.... I havent heard anything bad about them, so I mean really I think its just how much do you wanna spend and just weight out the options....

[Q-Ball]

Has anyone ever compared to 2 sets for the rears?

You might want to take a look at this thread, theres ALOT of info in there:

Well, looks like I'm gonna stick with my plan after reading that review. Fronts from Held and Rear from FFP.

Thanks!

[intern8tion9l]

is anyone using the fronts right now?

FYI, that Held Rear STB will only work on the second gens.

has anyone actually tried Held anything???

[intern8tion9l]

doesn't seem so

I'm considering trying Held on all 4 corners in the spring... a bit of a gamble seeing as no one else has tried them but oh well... its just a thought right now... gotta come up with the cash first... I'll be going with their Stage 2 coil over kit

I know one member here has, cant remember his name, but in the other thread he tried it out and well its explained in there but I know of atleast 1

i bought the hms coilovers from a friend with a 95 Z34. they were squeaky, clunky sons-of-bitches i think because the springs didnt sit flat on the mounts. i put them in my car with the stock mounts with no problems.

Are you happy with them? Did the quality of them seem cheap to you as it did for others?

[Euro]

they seem like a relatively new company(Held) i just started hearing about them within the last few months

[19Cutlass94]

Ive heard about them for a couple years... Just never had the money/time to do anything so I never paid much attention.

[pwmin]

yeah, my friend bought them like 3 or 4 years ago. the spring, spring seat, and all that are the same as ffp i believe, but the mount was a piece of crap. not sure if the newer versions have been revised though. i got two sets of rings so i could lock them together instead of using the crappy set screws.

that's a great idea. those set screws are ridiculous.

 

btw, for those of you interested in rear coilovers from FFP or Held please read this thread:

maybe we can go through AFCO Racing and save ourselves some money buying the parts separately.

i was wondering where that thread went to......
