Default GSR: Cusco Zero2 vs. Tein Flex

I'm re-doing the setup on my DC2 GSR.

Which of these two is better for a 99% Daily Driver?

I lowered my GSR 2", and now the ride is too low, constantly hits bumpstops, scrapes and is VERY bouncy. So I may as well re-do it all.

I want something thats solid, and feels good but isn't too hard for driving to work or when the girlfriend is in the car. But on a friday night if I want to go for a bit of a strap it's all good.

Thanks

I'm cautious flex is tooo hard for daily driving street, even on softest setting?

I'm basically tossing up between:
Tein Flex
BuddyClub N+
Cusco Zero2


--NON-VTEC--, can you give me your thoughts on it? Whats your car used for? When you hit a dump does it give you a hernia? Does it **** your girlfriend off etc?

Whats the hardness compared to say, hitting bumpstop?

My DC2 is dumped too low at the moment on stock suspension, I hit bumpstops ALOT and it's fkn annoying and loud, and hurts lol.

If your hitting your bumpstops your either going to have to raise up the car or get stiffer springs.
