Default Tein Flex coil-over: Need Feedback

Hello guys!

The search function dont work.... so I need your feedbacks.


Im looking for this set-up: Tein Flex coil-over.

I do some raceday for fun but the most of the time im in the street.


TEIN Type FLEX damper kit was designed to provide driving comfort and sports performance with its full-length adjustment system. We have incorporated separate height and preload adjustments, which allows you to have various set-ups to meet different road conditions. The FLEX Damper kit includes pillow ball upper mounts and is compatible with the EDFC, for maximum performance for the streets. * Full-length adjustment and height adjustment for separate setting of the height and spring preload. * 16 levels of damping force adjustment (compression and rebound together). * Teflon coating for rust prevention. * Newly designed spring seat and spring seat lock for easy height adjusting. * Pillow ball upper mounts are included. * Compatible with EDFC.







thanks!

Flex is a great kit for daily driver and occasional DE's. I will be going with the Tein flex kit when I upgrade mine.

Im thinking about the Koni yellow on OEM spring.

I just want the car lower than stock without affecting (negative) the handling .

I have the Tein FLex on my 02 and love it. I do some auto crossing with them as well. I love to be able to adjust the ride height as I change wheels very often. I do think they are worth the extra money as compared to getting the Koni's.

coilovers will be so much better than springs. Coilovers really make the most of the cars handeling characteristics. If u want to handle well get the Tiens, if u want ure car lower, get springs.

I have no issues with my Flex and have not come across any customers needing rebuilds.

I love my Flex's + EDFC. They're a great setup for the street and occasional track day.

I dont want just springs alone...

I just want to drop the car without affect the handling.... because I do some raceday track for fun during the summer.

In the past, I get this shitty set-up (spring on oem shock) on my civic EG.... the ride was bouncy...

I put GAB racing ITR application + ITR LCA+ neuspeed spring, WOW the difference!!
