If your car is only driven on the street you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference between the Tein SS and Flex.

The Flex will have a more agressive feel as it comes with stiffer rates and aluminum top hats. The car will be more stable with the Flex setup than with the SS setup. I personally would opt for the Flex given only those two choices. The SS will be more comfortable though, and performance differences will be minute if only used on the street.

i strongly disagree. the springs that come with the ss are way softer than they should be for any sports type driving.

Let's review:

The threadstarter is looking for suspension for a daily driver. If he was going to do any "sports type driving" (ie. trackdays on a road course or autocross), he would have indicated that.

People normally indicate whether or not they intend to track their car. Even if they track their car, most people do not drive at a level where they need stiffer suspension.
