Default Which Setup is better?

Im going to be ordering my suspension within a couple of weeks and i cant decide between the RA's or the FLEX.... and I was wondering witch setup you guys think is better, how is the ride comfort and handle for street use, Ive see alot of you guys are running Tein suspension Id appreciate if you guys let me know thanks for your input....

Tein Flex for the street, RA's more track focused, but still can be used on the street. If comfort is what you want go with the flex's, otherwise go with the RA's.

i had RA's and i used em on the street. stiff as hell, backbreaking stiffness. i ended up going with the bilstein pss9, so far... the teins were a better performer, if you can live with the rough ride get the teins. i still have not made up my mind if i want to sell my tein's or my bilsteins. but the bilsteins sure are comfy.
