Default Ride comfort with Tein Flex's. Experienced input please...

I've been looking everywhere for a review, but can seem to find one. I found some decently priced Tein Flex's and am thinking of getting them, but I have no idea what the ride quality will be like. I dont mind a little hard, but I dont want my car to feel like a race car either.

Anyone with personal experience here?

I have ridden in an R with tein flex's. Its one of the sickest coilover setups, the handling it provided was incredible. If your looking for a comfortable setup.. no , but for me its fine. I'm getting them for my rsx in a month or two.

I personally find these set from Tein as one of the best products they have ever made...the price can deter many people, but for performance it is unbelievably outstanding.

The tein Flex handle awesome on my ep but for daily driving the ride is a little harsh. But its a sacrifice I happily made.

3 1/2 years and going 80k on em and i love em on the EP3 for the EP3R i thought about the Buddy Clbs for the stiffer springs but these work for daily driving and some tracking

i have them on my EP3 and I have nothing but good things to say about Tein Flex coilovers. Construction is top notch quality and its even teflon coated for rust protection which is great for me being in Canada and all.. For daily driving, its very easy to live with on the softest setting (for me at least), and once you stiffen it up man its like the car is riding on rails!

Ya i know, just so happens with the settings he had at the moment that was case. Havnt rode with different settings so im sure it could be the complete other way around where it would put my setup to shame.
