Getting new coilovers soon, and wanted some input. The car is my DD, and will be for the next couple of years. I won't be doing any major competitions, a tandeming probably won't happen. I don't mind a rough ride on the streets (been on Stances for the past couple of months), but I will be going to college next year and the trip home is 4+ hours. So I'd like input/reviews from people who have either of these (or old HE's since they're now the super drifts). Considering the EDFC, but that wouldnt be for a while.

Other suspension parts are:
Supernow Camber Adjuster (Sublink)
TCSportline front and rear strut bars
Racing Beat DTSS Eliminators

Possible parts coming soon:
Super Now Tie Rod Ends
Toe Adjuster

 

probably type flex

 

I should have made a poll.

Flex - 1
Super Drift - 0

 

Hmm. I dunno. Simply because i haven't heard much about teins. They dont seem to be as common of a coilover as they used to be.

I've had several friends with them but never though to ask what they were like b/c at a time, coilovers were too ******* expensive for me and i was too front wheel drive to give a ****.

You could always email tein and find out the valving and check the spec sheets to get your spring rate info. That should be all you need to worry about really?

 

super drift, if i could i would trade my stance for them in a second.

 

I know the spring rates

Super Drift - 8/6
Flex - 6/5

I'm leaning towards the Super Drifts cause they're tuned for drifting, and if I get tired of how stiff they are I can always order a pair of 5k springs. Put those on the rear and swap the rear to the front. Assuming they're all the same size. Or by 8k springs and do the same to the Flex.

Super Drifts are $100 cheaper.

Super Drit - 1
Flex - 1

 

i have Tein flexs, i like them, but wish they could be stiffer

 

Superdrifts seem to fit you better in this situation. Save the $100 from the get go, and it's probably cheaper to buy softer springs.

 

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Springs are like 80$ I think.

 

sell me your stances for cheap!!!!!!!

 

i love my super drifts

 

My friend already wants them but if you can beat his offer...

 

You DD your FC, right?

 

how much did he offer

 

pretty much

 

That says something. Chi town and PA have shitty roads. Philly is worse than Pitt....Naw, they're about the same.

******* potholes and cracks and bumps and "uneven" pavement....

 

Yeah. Im kinda leaning toward the Flex's cause I saw a pair for about 1500 :o

 

Again, why wouldn't you opt for their basics if you're going to daily more than anything else?

Are the flexes just the same coil with pillowball fronts?

 

Pretty much, and the flex has the lowest spring rate plus the pillow ball

 

Going to order the Flex's unless someone can give me a good reason not to get them.

 

I just traded my Flex's...theyre cool, not bad for street use. Im rocking Super Drifts and look forward to using them at Inland.

 

Why not get another pair of Stances?

 

PM'd you.

I have some Tein Flex coilovers w/ the EDFC that are like new at a very reasonable price
