Default tein coilovers

Hey, been offered some tein flex coilovers for my 97 civic hatch. My brother has the super streets on his car and it sits pretty low has a few coils left to wind down on them though.

Was wondering how low the flex's go? Do they go as low as the super streets or lower?

Any help thanks!!

Is how low they go your issue, or how they perform? If slamming your car is what you have in mind and not handling/comfort, then TEIN dampers are not something for you.

its both really, I want the car to handle well but I also want it to sit low.

I was just asking if the super streets go lower than the flex or what.

Best resource on this one is TEIN's website. It says it goes to -2.7".

I agree with most of this stuff. Checkout the site, they have all the numbers even though some are kidna confusing. Some data is missing. Maybe call Tein and just ask. You should ask if someone named "Dampa-Chi" is working and if you could talk to him. That guy is an expert on these things especially with Hondas.

I found that amusing, and I think the person below you who got upset needs to kill himself.
