You have to be mindful of what you will be using your car for and what level of comfort you expect from the coilover. Tein SS spring rate is 10 front and 6 rear. This means Tein SS should be less bumpier (if buddy club n+ is 12 front). Tein Flex, on the other hand, is 14 front and 8 rear, which is more bumpier than buddy club n+. Just thought you should know (in case you don't) before you decide this is the coilover for you/your car. Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC (the one I have before, euroaccord13 has them on now) is 8 front and 4 rear, which pretty much retains the comfort when being driven daily.
THat is handy to know, that's for that as the car won't see track, instead I am looking for a street setup which retains comfort somewhat (let's be realistic on Sydney roads) and yet improves the handling. I'm more biased to the handling side of things than comfort but from Sodaz review of the BC's in and around Sydney he seems to not mind them too much.

However from what I have heard everyone who has the Tein SS and use it for Street have no complaints what so ever, but for Track (which I won't take the Euro on) people are saying its a tad too soft which doesn't bother me. The BC's seem to be cheaper though than the Tein's which had swayed me however after your advice euro77 and Aaron's on the BC N+ being closer to the flex, I am thinking Tein's again. Also bearing in mind that I will be upgrading from the 17 inch stockies later this year to 18inch BC rims, which will have less rubber between the road and the rim would make it a bumpier ride.

PS: With the Spring Rate, from the info you have provided I am assuming the lower the Spring Rate the softer the spring and hence the more comfort orientated it is, however less responsive?
