Tein: Type Flex Vs Mono Flex
I am looking to get one of these coilover set ups.....I just want some HT help in makeing my choice clear.... I will be useing this as my daily driver....I don't have the urge to go down the track or anything like that.....
I am looking for a firm ride no sagging tight cornering and I love my ride to be dumped I mean tucking without having to bottom out the shocks....I now both of these sets have spring preload so I can ride it dumped and not effect shock travel as much
I need this advice because I am currently running tokico and GC and my tokico have almost seen there last day.....so I am trying to be proactive....
the difference between the two coilover setups are $220 so price is not a issue...I just want to know the difference in feel from current HT members that are running any of these two setups....and anything else you can share with me so I can make a good decision....
thanks ahead of time for all the help that is posted...

Re: Tein: Type Flex Vs Mono Flex (robs97)
The monoflexes are newer and they are monotube. Monotube dampers usually have better damping. Piston area is increased, cooling is increased. Since performance isn't an issue for you, buy the cheaper ones.
Spring preload has nothing to do with keeping the car dumped with shock travel. I think you're referring to full body adjustability.
