The N1's are even more specialized than the Super Racing Dampers. They are sold individually and the spring rates are much higher than Flexes. They also feature external resirvours. They are fully adjustible like the Flexes (independent body and spring) but feature 20 leves of bound and 20 levels of rebound adjustment. Depending on the car they can be ordered with either steel or aluminum bodies.

Here are the pring rates for an RSX
Flex = 672 lbs/in F & 784 lbs/in R N1 = 1008 lbs/in or 1568 lbs/in

The pic fromtheir website looks like an older version as the ones in the current catalog have the more recent green paint/anodized scheme.

Hope that helps

Pulled the info from thier site huh.LOL
N1's are a pure track suspension. Designed specifically for track racing and NOT STREET USE.
If you are planning on getting these for street use or just to "pimp" the Tein dont.
You will be rebuilding the N1's ever 3-4 months depending on road conditions.
I looked into these for track use already, but at the moment I still DD my car so I decided to stay with my tein Flex and possible get a stiffer spring to achieve a higher spring rate and possible revalve the shocks to compensate for the higher spring rate.

To my knowledge no one runs the N1's, I know a guy on clubrsx.com has them but he is from canada and tracks the car.
