N+ vs Flex

[TypeG]

which one will you suggest?
Buddyclub N+ or TEIN Flex

currently with TEIN SS but I felt it is too soft when doing weekend tracking...
I want something which is a bit stiffer when I need to

i dunno anything about spring rate so any suggestion?

Isn't Flex Tein's top line?

Flex would be the go since you're tracking.

ive heard that flex is still very comfortable/bearable for a daily driver mate.

if you think ther soft just make up some custom springs for them.

Tein flex very nice coilovers. We use it on our street/track car.

What did you find lacking in the SS? Was it the spring rate or the damper rate?

Flex has the EXACT same spring rate as SS. 10 kgf/mm for the front and 6 kgf/mm for the rear.

Flex is the top line for Tein's STREET coils. They have "higher" lines for their racing coils.

Yes, Flex are not racing coils. They are in the same category as SS, CS and Basic.

If you want something stiffer than Flex/SS for the Euro, then look at Mono Flex.

If you want full control over bound and rebound of your damper, look at HT and N1, but I think these are special order (not in their product list for the CL7 and CL9)

Flex would be the go since you're tracking.

I would say that there wouldn't be much difference between the two.

Not if you are going over those tiny low metal speed bumps in the shopping mall. Those HURT!

actually , the SS are 8 and 4, and the Flex are 10 and 6. so i rekn it would be a great upgrade for track driving. spring rates of 10 and 6 would be a perfect balance between street and track.

i am sure SS is 8/4. According to what a from JDMyard said, Flex is way better than SS and will have noticeable different....even they are both street coilover.

Better in what sense? Compared to SS, Flex has an adjustable lower mount and has 16 damper levels. You can get the same spring rates as they come in +2/-2 for the front and +2/-1 for the rear. Could you check what part number your springs have?
