    Whats the difference to normal stock suspension? And standard installation is it automatically a ruff ride, because I wouldn't mind keeping them if I could just adjust it so it seems like its stock.
    With Flex, it is meant to be for track/street. Even the softest setting is very much harder than stock because the springs are stiffer (on my car, the Tein Flex spring rate is about 3-4 times of stock!). If you want it to be comfortable like stock, you need Tein SS or Tein CS. Having said that, is your DC2 a Type R or VTIR? If it is a Type R, stock is already pretty bumpy.

    Oh ok so the option is back to stock really? I have the stock shocks. I got them with the car. The DC2 is a Type R as well. I was going to get 17" with it as well so I know the car will be even harder after that. Would be a pretty bumpy ride.

    You could go back to stock and sell the Flex for a nice amount of cash. I'd seriously ask if any of your friends have a DC2R with stock suspension and go for a ride so you can find out if there is a big improvement.

    Funny you say that because this is my second Type R (First one was stolen) and they were stock shocks with 17"'s on them. Well I think they were 17"s can't remember. Actually come to think about it. Heres a pic with my old DC2 rims on it. What do you think they are.

    So I know how a stock DC2 rides. After getting my second I just can't stand the roughness. I don't mind if it's slight but I know with 17"s it will be a lot worse.
