Yeah, I've driven EKs with BC N+ which are stiffer than Flex, and it feels fine. The Euro is a heavy car, so it is most probably what is causing the difference (heavier car has stiffer springs).

For that price I'd buy coil overs.
Not many coilovers that give you the both the comfort and great street handling at that price. Maybe only a gray-imported Tein SS (if they are still around the $1300) mark. You're stuffed if you need warranty though as shipping them back overseas is costly.
IMO coilovers do not suit the Euro.After all it's a semi sport/mid luxury car.The setup i have enhances the ride/handling of the Euro.On an typical road the average person wouldn't even know that my car has had a suspension upgrade and been lowered.Not untill you start pushing it hard round twisty bits of road.Why is it that manufacturers of prestige and performance cars nearly always go for Bilstein shocks?Even Jap manufacturers go for Bilstein when they offer an enhanced version of a certain model eg.Mazda RX 8,Subaru Liberty.All i can say is spend the extra it's worth it.
Fair enough. I haven't felt how the spring an shocks feel. I have Tein SS.
Correct me if im wrong but the Tein ss are a lower grade then the tein type flex... Different spring rate also possibly softer etc u ever tried the type flex combo mate?
All I've had In my car are Tein SS and Buddyclub N+ the Tein SS are a very soft coilover but still have give the car great handling.
