    with flex, the ride is firmer and stiffer. spring rate os SS is 8/4 and flex is 10/6.
    Mono FLex is actually classify as Street Coil instead of Race Coil but people said they are too stiff for street use especially my area =(
    Well, i know nth since I have tried on Flex myself but JDMyard 's word should be right since they are pro and i told z10 I am not going to buy from them this time since I am heading HK for holiday yooo

    taken from http://www.tein.com/acura.html
    for CL9
    Flex - 14/8
    SS - 10/6
    basic - 10/6

    ratings according to tein
    street - basic, SS,
    competition - Flex, Mono Flex, N1

    flex should be significantly better then superstreet but by no means top of the line tein track suspension according to the info above.

    if your serious about tracking the euro get something better then flex, if ur using it as a daily with some track time get flex. if you dont plan to track much once a yr just for fun dont waste your money keep the SS.

    having said that get a rear swaybar first

    oh yerr to answer your question i say tein flex, BC n+ would be b/w SS and Flex

    Thanks for the info.... but somehow I think TEIN US is different to the TEIN in Japan. In Japan, SS is 8/4 and Flex is 10/6 and Flex should be clasify as Street. Anyway, i mostly go with Flex as buddyclub now is made in Taiwai

    this was taken from the jap site



    personally i would probably classify it as a 6 out of 10 for track the other 4 being for street but have no experience (just from what people say) with it so im just going by the site.

    Any links to confirm that BC now manufacture their units in Taiwan?
    Are they just being made in Taiwan by BC or is a different company producing units for them now?

    dude
    those spring rates are the US spec. JDM yard im pretty sure imports from japan.

    so SS for accord is 8 and 4
    and the FLEX is 10 and 6

    yes, most aussies import from japan

    japan contrary to popular belief have softer spring rates than the US spec ones (maybe more boyracers in the US)..

    i think ITR flex had something like 10 3 or something stupid in jap spec where as the US spec had a better rate

    That was because the DC2R was rear-happy and if you used too stiff a rear, it would slide out if you took a bumpy street corner too exthusiastically.

    well, in the case of my prelude, the US has pretty soft rates for US only 8 and 4. and 9 and 6 jap spec.

    who knows, it varies.

    anywho more on topic, i rkn the flex for type G would go heaps harder on track.
