Default Tein Flex or Buddy Club N+

I need feedback on these coilovers as I am kind of stuck as to which ones to get. Which brand has the capability to last longer, and which set will be more daily driver friendly?

Has any previous or current owner had issues with either of these coilovers,

much help is greatly appreciated.

thanks
steve

I have the Flexs, I like them...I finally got them set to my liking... (took a while to do) I like them for daily driving conditions, although i wish i had a different spring rate for aggressive driving.

one good thing is, if your looking for a daily driving setup....flex offers the edfc which is nice!

good luck

i had the exact same problems, and i think i will be going with the BC. I think that they are both good setup but the BC is cheaper and can do almost what the flex can do.

i've had both. the BC is better for daily, softer springs 10/10 i think? The flexes have softer shocks (on the softest setting) but stiffer springs 12/14 i think.

I'm in the same boat. I'm leaning towards the buddy clubs because they seem to be a little more streetable.
