Tein Type Flex Coilovers

Anyone have any experience with these on an FC? How do they perform? Anyone have any pictures of the stance it provides?

Stance is however you set them up.

I like them a lot, although living in SF I kinda want some softer ones, but they're OK in the city, good enough for me at the track for HPDE.

Depends, in SF its rough, but I think its just bugging me cuz I have Azenises on right now. Other cities are fine (less potholes, less imperfections in the road)

I had a toss up between the Flex's and the Super Drifts......I opted for the Super Drifts. Cheaper and still EDFC capatible.

I to went with the superdrifts. I just attended my first drift day and they worked great. The dampening is very stiff and the spring rates are stiff too. If you are going to be drifting them I think the superdrifts are your best opion. the ride height is perfect too

I won't be doing much drifting around here. How are the Super Drifts for regular street driving? How would they handle autocrossing?
