TEIN Type flex coilovers......any info for me b4 i purchasE?

Hey Alvis,

Cheers for your recommendation, I got offered a crazy price on a set of tein type flex and I grabbed them it was a little high for my range but what price do you pay for "quality" anyways I've been going crazy on forums and people said the type flex is the best street coilover before the mono flex...

However I didn't hear good feedback on the tein ss springs for street use as they are cheaper and don't come with a top hat or something along those lines

So in the end I chose tein type flex coilovers and have been waiting to get a few days off work so I can install all of my parts!

Did you end up getting any coils yet?

Good choice on the Tein Flex,might be alittle bumpy for normal street use but u know you're getting a quality product and show greatly improve cornering ;)
Tein SS do have top hats (most of them we get through our shop from Japan have anyway) but are abit soft even for normal street use from customer feedbacks.But let us know how u go with the Flex!i'm assuming u got them new?

Yeah got them new and I think they don't have as good damper balance and yes I have heard they are quite soft hense the reason why I went with the type flex which are stiffer but still soft enough to loosen and ride with close enough suspension to OEM springs only with better cornering :) I will let you know via this thread on how mean and aggressive they are :)

Congrats mate, sounds like you're one happy chappy with ur new coils :)!

But yeh I haven't got mine yet, getting a 28 point suspension/brake checkover on Friday morning to make sure all other OEM suspension components are sound, so go from there :) But leaning towards the SS atm, I'm really topping out my budget at $2k - if i finally make the decision to part with the coin! But if you know of any "special" Tein offers going around... you know who to call ;)

We'll await pics and feedback on your ride!

Any feedback is great, thanks :)

Yep, just checked Tein website for Superstreets - so Flex should be similar I'd think:

FRONT (Min ~ Max):
-31mm/-1.2inches ~ -83mm/-3.3inches

REAR (Min ~ Max):
4mm/0.2inches ~ -71mm/-2.8inches
