Default tein type flex

Anybody running the Tein Flex set up? I did a search, but this particular set up wasn't mentioned too much. I just wanted to get any opinions/feedback on this suspension. Thanks everybody

My buddy installed his last week and he really likes them so far. They haven`t seen any track use thus far though.

Its a good option especially if you like to ride around "dumped". You can adjust the ride height, as well as the strut body travel. Its a real nice setup. I know for Type-R's the kit cost around $1200 + EDFC which is about $320ish.

I would classifiy it was an aggressive street setup/semi track.

good street setup = yes
semi track = not really

i saw tein usa brough the 350z with flex to cali speedway to test last weekend. lot of roll and not much grap(tire=T1S), i think its mainly because its weight.

I thought they were stiffer than Tein HA...

Maybe because of the 350's weight..ah well,

I love my Type Flex's. I definitely recomend them. I have very minimal body roll and my car handles like a dream. And I have an H22.

I'm thinking about going with this same set up, if not that, then some good Zeals. But Tein Flex with a good rear sway bar should be good enough.
