Hi to all
I'm going to buy a coilover's kit for my 2th s14a.
In the 1st I've fitted tein type hr with whiteline rollbar and strutbar, silent block bushing, 225/45 17 wheels and the handling was great!!!
Now I've all this stuff but without coilovers...I've shock absorber and spring bilstein/eibach and the handling is a crap...

I'm thinking to buy tein type flex, but before I spend money I want to know if this is the right choice...at the same price (or even a little more) I can get better?

thanks for all!!!

This topic has been covered many times. Also it depends on what you plan to do with your car.

I like to drive the mountain roads and the track and I don't care drift, and I would prefer to have maximum handling and grip, even if it means not having comfort

+1 for bc's. great ride and great price. i recommend fortune auto if they have them in stock. only reason i didnt get fortunes is because my stances locked up on me and i needed coliovers fast and fortunes were 6-8 weeks back ordered... but if you have the money go more expensive. you get what you pay for.

Seeing that you are in Sicily and having been there before...I'd be scared to drive around there with a lowered car! and let alone park the car outside, i think i only saw handful of cars with no quarter panel/front fender dmg. lol.

anyways, I have Stance GR+ and been daily driving on them since 2007 with 0 problems. love it to death.

but, if money is not an issue, i'd go with KW's, Ohlins, or Motons.
