Tein Flex

Specifically made for street.

Tein Flex is good as long as you don't lower your car too much. It is a bit on the softer side but you don't need or want stiff suspension on public roads as you will not have much grip because the car is bouncing all over the place. Plus your ass won't hurt after driving all day. I love mine.

I love it when people ask for a street/road course setup.

Pick one, because NO suspension will satisfy both those. Totally different ends of the spectrum.

If you want someting in the middle, yea, Tein Flex I guess... just don't expect to be winning SCCA GT2 on those...

Thanks guys actually this will not be my daily so it really dose not matter if he suspension is super stiff.

Hey them zeal coilovers, can i have them rebuilt if the go out or have them rebuilt to my specs? you know make them more stiffer or what ever. I herd you can do this with the Tien Flex. Correnct me if i am wrong please.

of course, 2 (twin) > 1 (mono). as are many things in life, 2 boobies > 1 boob, 2 beers > 1.
Twin tube means there are 2 pistons, 1 for comfort and 1 for race. mono doesn't have that ;[

AHHH intresting. see i was looking at the Tien Flex and the tanabe DD's but i though that was for drifting. hey also the Tien FLEX can be redone to my specs also? correct me if i am wrong.

ahh sorry, I posted that up as a joke... just comparing designs, mono is better than twin in several aspects, but of course that doesn't mean a great shock can't be of twin tube design.
