Default tein flex coilovers

hey guys whats your opinions on the tein flex coilovers. I am thinking about buying them for my 5th gen. Are they worth the money or should i just go with the super streets?

i got both
one on each 4th gen
the SS really is comfortable for the streets
the flex can be a little harsh, but they could use a little higher spring rate for autox abuse

I'd go with something like konis/gc for near half the price, better performance, and better service.

i had GCs on tockio illumminas and they are not going to slam your car at the lowest setting

The rears go lower then the front, WAY lower
Performance wise they are great, if you want stiffness and want to be low but not slammed they are perfect

my car

slammed = cool



If you're going to ruin a suspension that isn't made to "slam" your car, then just choose the cheapest setup you can find.

LOL @ all the 'i want my car slammed to the center of the earth threads. It's bad for your car and bad for handling.

i gave my ss to my friend. its in his da and it rides pretty damn smooth. his drop is right at the tires in front and tucking 1/3 of the tires in the rear. i was in my other friends civic and he has some flex. his car is slammed tuckin half his tires and the flex seems to be smoother.
