Default Tein Flex for the FG2

Anyone installed these yet?

I'm pretty much a Tein... eh' hater probably...
I've had Basics on my ep3 and Super streets on my TSX

but they always are creaky and " squeeky"

Has anyone tried out the flex, not really WANTING them, but there isn't really alot of other options currently.
But i'll get them if thats all there is

- mike

I've been waiting to see if any other company comes out with Full coilovers, but have not heard of anything....

I have been thinking of the Flex's too. A fellow HT'er had the SS's on his FG2 and seemed to like them.

I just would have liked to have a few choices and reviews, but if I have to be the guinea pig, so be it.

I have had my Blitz wheels for months and do not want to put them on until I lower my Si.

Type X if you get them before I do, let me know what you think...

Maybe we can get a deal if we buy two sets...

Does Tanabe have anything in the works? My friend had Tanabe full coilovers on his '98 Civic four door and it rode really nice for what he paid .

have you thought about the HFP setup Mike? obviously doesnt provide everything the Tein's do, but the ride quality is awesome and theres no squeak/creak issues. Noticeable difference in handling, minimal drop, but enough to clean things up a bit.

Hit me up if youre at all intersted, i'll hook it up

I think Megan makes a decent set-up for the fg2 and IIRC they were a bit cheaper than the Tien Flex's.

The Megan coilovers are on my short list. I know a few people who have them on their RSX's and 7th Gen Civic's and everyone is happy with them. I've heard good and bad about all of the Tein coilovers, but mostly that they don't hold up very well in my harsh Canadian climate.

Megan specs...
Megan Racing Coil-Over Dampers are the ultimate upgrade to your track or street car. Featuring 32 Levels of damper force adjustment, full-height adjustment, these damper kits are then perfectly matched with front and rear Pillow Ball upper mounts for camber correction in most applications.

The adjustment of the damper is as simple as can be with a built-in **** at the top of the damper mount for easy access. Simple adjustments can be made to tune to your style of driving and comfort level desired. Single-Adjustable dampers make suspension adjustments easy to tune whether you’re a professional mechanic or an automotive enthusiast with amateur mechanical skills.

Spec:

- Spring Rates: 8kg Front and 10kg Rear

- 32 Levels of Adjustable Damper

- Pillow Ball Upper Mounts.

- Rubber Dust Covers.

- Adjustable Ride Height

- Aggressive Spring Rates

- Single-Cylinder Design

- Aluminum Brackets

32 Levels of Adjustment:

1-8: Suggested for track use.
9-16: Suggested for mountain/aggressive use.
17-32: Suggested for common street use.

- All coilover damper kits come with 1 year manufacture-defect warranty.
