That is new to me. I am buying the flex's or SS's so I would like to make an informed decision.

 

Just wondering how come the type Flex are more expensive than the SS? i'm looking at the chart at machiii and the SS seem to fall right in the middle and seem to be more for competition than the Flex. But yet the SS cost less than the Flex, can someone explain?thnx

nm, they just explained it to me. now i want the FLEX. damn i want everything.

 

because with Type Flex you can buy EDFC where you can adjustin dampening inside the car...

 

the flex has a better spring rate than the SS, but you can order the different spring rates from Tein USA, the thing that sucks is each spring is $200. im planning on getting the SS with HA springs.

 

teins rule. i got the SS on my DC5

 

what are the spring rats that come with SS and Flex?

 

from http://www.tein.com/honda.html

For 96-00 civics

FLEX: 9 front and 4 rear
SS: 8 front and 4 rear

 

go all out and get the hardest spring rates so you'd get a kidney massage everytime you drive your car...hahaha

 

LOL...tim you do that and our roads in indiana will make you rebuild the suspension every 3000 miles like your oil change

 

the flex is actually 9 front 5 rear.

EDIT: woops, my bad, i was looking at the EM1 rates. you are correct, sir.

oh... but i thought Tein doesn't make HA springs for the EM1 anymore..correct me if I'm wrong.

 

i love my flex

 

wow, HA's is way sportier than Flex then...cuz my springrates for my HA's meant for 96-00 civics are 10k/7k....the other week i changed the spring rates to 12k/10k, and it was terrible, it made me feel kinda sick, so i put them back to 10k/7k.

i always thought flex was more sportier than ss, but according to that scale, ss is more sportier and flex is more for comfort.

I'm sorry but I think you got jipped. Vtecvoodoo could have gotten them for you for $895 shipped.

i think he was referring to the FLEX, which come with pillowmounts and adj. shock mounts....what vtecvoodoo is selling for $895 shipped is the SS....i think...if it is $895 for FLEX, then that would be a good *** deal.
