Flex systems are good but slightly stiffer compared to the Super street...for our roads going with the super street might be better and you could save abit of $ too :)

Good for streets, but not stiff enough on track...but if you wanna more comfi ride, Flex is a better choice...

Completely different.
Zero 1 - hight adjustable only
Zero 2- hight and dampener adjustable
Zero 2R- inverted shocks (just like WRC cars), hight and dampener adjustable

Comp-S is height only
Zero 1 is hight and dampener adjustable
Zero 2 same as 1 but more adjustment

given that im upgrading from comp S to Zero-2, whats so wrong about the Zero-1, whats your bad experience with them?

Im assuming you are asking me since I was the one that didn't like zero 1:) Too bumpy on syd roads, it felt like the rebound was really short (travel) The car was shattering, and even on a smooth road, the ride quality does not compete with other brands of coilovers such as H&R, Koni and Teins (Experience from friends and collegues cars)
