《ABZ2 vs E2: How to Choose Between EDDY‘s Two Suspension Kits? One Chart Makes It Clear》

Many car owners face the same dilemma when it comes to upgrading their suspension: should I go with adjustable coilovers, or a fixed sport kit?

Go with coilovers? Worried about getting the setup right – how much damping? How low? Should front and rear be different? All those parameters can be overwhelming.

Go with a fixed kit? Worried it won’t be enough – what if I want to hit some mountain roads or a track day later? Will the fixed damping hold up?

EDDYSTAR’s ABZ2 and E2 sit right at opposite ends of this choice.

One gives you total control – switch between comfort and performance at will. The other gives you fit-and-forget simplicity – install it and go.

Both are excellent products, but they suit completely different types of drivers. This article will use one clear comparison chart to help you figure out – which one is really for you.

One Chart: ABZ2 vs E2 – The Core Differences at a Glance

ABZ2: The All‑Rounder – One Car, Three Personalities

The ABZ2 is a coilover adjustable suspension kit, and its core promise is simple: soft or firm, you decide – switch scenes freely.

24‑stage damping adjustment – with real granularity. The ABZ2 offers 24 stages of compression/rebound damping adjustment, with clear, effective clicks. Compared to common 16‑stage kits, the 24‑stage setup gives you much finer control. At the softest setting, rebound is quick and comfortable; at the firmest, rebound slows down for maximum control. You can fine‑tune the damping force to match your road conditions and driving style.

Twin‑tube construction – durable and comfortable. The ABZ2 uses a twin‑tube design that ensures durability and adequate stroke, delivering a smooth, stable ride across all kinds of roads – from city streets to highways.

Three uses in one car – switch scenes without compromise. Dial it soft for daily commuting to absorb road vibrations. Dial it firm for mountain runs to reduce body roll. Set it somewhere in the middle for highway cruising where stability matters most. One car, three distinct driving characters.

Factory‑matched – no guesswork. The ABZ2 comes with vehicle‑specific parameters pre‑matched at the factory – just replace your original suspension system directly. The total cost is lower than buying dampers and lowering springs separately, and the factory matching eliminates the risk of noises, insufficient support, or other issues that often come with DIY combinations.

In one sentence: The ABZ2 is for drivers who enjoy the tuning process and want optimal performance in every scenario – commuting, weekend backroads, or highway cruising.

E2: The Hassle‑Free Choice – Install It and Forget It

The E2 is a direct‑fit sport suspension kit, and its core promise is just as simple: no tuning, direct install, worry‑free.

Pre‑set at the factory – no tuning headaches. The E2 is vehicle‑specific and comes pre‑tuned by EDDY‘s engineering team, with damping and suspension stroke already optimized. You don’t need to figure out damping settings or ride heights – the engineers have already done it for you.

Easy install – includes top mounts. The E2 kit includes everything you need – dedicated damper cartridges, sport lowering springs, and vehicle‑specific top mounts. No need to reuse your factory top mounts. Compared to coilovers that require pre‑load adjustments and complicated setup, the E2 is direct replacement – plug and play.

30‑40 mm drop – immediate handling improvement. By shortening damper length and stroke while increasing damping force, combined with lowering springs, the E2 drops your car by about 30‑40 mm. This improves wheel grip, reduces body roll, and enhances overall stability. Owners report around 20% better cornering support – and even on rough roads, the ride remains surprisingly acceptable.

Balancing comfort and control. The E2 enhances handling while preserving a surprising level of comfort. One owner described it as “about 10% firmer than stock – not much harsher.” The progressive‑rate spring design (with tighter coils that are softer in their initial travel) helps maintain daily drivability.

Track‑tested, quality assured. From the start, the E2 was developed to sport standards, and test units undergo actual track testing before release – pushing performance to the limit to verify reliability. With 21 years of engineering heritage, EDDY products are now exported to Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, and beyond.

In one sentence: The E2 is for drivers who don‘t want to study damping charts or fiddle with settings – they just want to install and drive.

So, Which One Should You Choose?

Choose ABZ2 if –

• You enjoy the process of “tuning” – adjusting damping, ride height, and balance

• You have mixed driving needs: commute during the week, hit twisty roads on weekends

• You want the best possible performance in every scenario – no compromises

• You plan to upgrade other chassis components later and want the flexibility of adjustability

Choose E2 if –

• You don’t want to research spring rates or damping curves – just install and go

• Your main use is daily street driving, with the occasional spirited backroad run

• You want maximum bang for your buck – a direct performance upgrade without breaking the bank

• You’ve heard too many “coilover horror stories” and don’t want to risk a bad setup

At the end of the day, it comes down to this:

If you love to tinker and chase perfection, choose ABZ2. If you want simplicity and peace of mind, choose E2.

There‘s no “better” kit – only the one that better fits your lifestyle.

EDDYSTAR – There’s a suspension kit for every driver.
