Hey everybody,

I'm thinking of buying the Tein Flex coilovers for my DC2. I'm somewhat of a suspension novice and need some advice. Is there anything else I need to buy along with the Tein Flex kit in order to install these puppies and have a good, clean, functionable ride (ie. camber kit, etc.)? And for anybody else who has these or the Super Street kit give me some feedback on your experience with these kits. If it helps, I'm going to have them professionally installed so yeah. Thanks for the help.

 

i would definitely get a camber set and LCA"s. this will help take full advantage of what the setup can deliver. if your really serious a master bushing kit will help too but if your paying a shop for the labor the bushing set may break the budget. good luck

 

No, you do not need anything else other than a good alignment to set the toe to 0. The camber in the back (which is where the most camber will be) will do nothing but make turning easier. Do not waste money on a camber kit and definitely don't waste money on LCAs. The benefit of aftermarket LCAs is negligible at best, and you have to be careful you don't ruin the bushing. There's a reason why Honda puts the specific LCAs that are on the car on there, and why they last 200,000 plus miles.

How low are you going to be? This will also affect ride and comfort, so think about it. I recommend a one finger gap or a hair above flush AT MOST for a drop.

 

We have done several tein flex installs as well as the super streets with and without pillow ball upper mounts. the super streets seem to be more streetable in the 'middle' of the damping adjustment, while the flex seem to be on the softest setting to be street friendly and still are a bit firm. However, the flex are slightly better at keeping a large tire on the road under heavy driving. If you don't track the car at all, I would recommend the ss with pillow ball.

U should get a camber kit as well to optimize your alignment and fine tune suspension settings.
