Tein Flex z coilovers
I'm leaning towards getting a set, but I can't find any reviews on the Flex Z set up. Anyone running these for just a street set up, no track, nothing fancy? Pretty much just want to lower my ride a little. Does anyone know if any of the vendors here offer club members a discount? I can get a set just shy of 800.00 delivered. All comments welcome.

theyre fine for normal street driving and highway. i have them and theyre ok. its what you would expect from tein. i would say get them. stay away from all that rebranded chinese garbage like bc, megan and d2.

I have them. I think they are great for the money. I just street my car with the occasional mountain run. I would recommend them.

They are supposed to be a cheaper replacement for the Street Flex, I'm running the Street Flex with some Swift 8k/6k, the 10k/8k spring is a little harsh with bumps but the lower rate springs solved the problem.

Bumping an older thread instead of making my own.
Anyone else have experience with the flex Z’s? I just bought a car with eibach springs and blown Tokicos, and initially thought I’d get Koni Yellows , but the flex Z’s are barely more money. |

Interested to see how they feel at autocross. What class are you in? Competitive at all?
I was up in the air between these and Ohlins DFV. I know that's a crazy comparison, but I read good things about these Tein coilovers on the FR-S/86 and S2K forums. Ended up doing Ohlins because I sold my E28 and had plenty of cash... figured I'd need all the help I can get punching up to C5 vettes. |

I'm not competitive in autocross and still consider myself a beginner, Class B. I went with Teins over the Ohlins because I think the Teins serve most of my needs. My instructor told me the really serious autocrossers spend big money on suspension such as the higher end Konis or Penske. Also, have you spoken to Jake Hamfist? I'm sure he has some good pointers on autocross.
I am sure the Teins are good... even if they are just decent it's hard to argue with the price. I have not spoken with him. Is he on the forum here? Hamfist Racing? |

I pretend I am competitive, but in reality I am just getting to be decent. Hm... FD should be in A class. Ridiculous when you consider a brand new Camaro SS 1LE is in B.
