When i get the flex, which should be in two weeks unless i change my mind, ill be ordering through evolution.

 

i had a discussion with one of my buddies. I told him i was thinking of the FLEXs and he said somewhere he read that the FLEXs werent as stiff as stock. Is this true? Does anyone have them find this to be right? Then he started comparing them to Kei-Offices GR-6's which look and sound nice. But the whole EDFC sways my opinion so much in the direction of TEIN.

 

TEIN is coming out with a dual EDFC for the new RS based dampener!! I may have to sell my RS kit!

As far as feeling I don't think mine have even broken in yet (< 2k on suspension)cuz it still feels soft to me at the stiffest setting.

 

I've owned a set of Flex on my Civic Hatch for about a year and they are great. The problem is the nut on top of the dampener loosens itself after awhile. You'll start to hear a gradual knocking when you drive. I always carry tools in my car just incase it happens again. But great selection you won't be disappointed.

 

I got mine about 4 months ago and I love them. Got mine @ www.zerolift.com if anyone is interested give them a call, tell them Jakub sent you.

Do your Teins have the rubber boot inside to protect the shock seals from dust and dirty? I see a white tube inside the spring coils and was wondering if they finally put one in.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

that white thing is probably the bumpstop

 

isnt that a lil too much rust on those control arms? lol

 

alot of coilovers have that issue, i had a set of hks hiper coilovers on my 240sx and a set of jic sf1 coilovers......both had the knockin issue from the rear suspension and you would have to go thru a torque everything to tighten it all up......gotta figure ur daily driving on semi-race suspension so the stiff setup is gonna rattle a few things loose
