I just installed the Tein Flex's and am in love with them. I also bought the EDFC so just driving around normally I switch them to the softest setting and the ride is very comfortable but yet firm enough for very spirited driving and you can stiffen them up to a racing friendly setting. I recomend them 100%

What's best for the street will be too soft to be best on the track, what's best for drifting will be too tail happy for the street or the track.

Jack of all trades, master of none, that's the scenario you'll end up with, or else it'll me master of one trade, bad at the rest. What are your priorities? This will be helpful in making reccomendations.

are you actually looking to do some tracking with them or are you really just looking to lower the car a bit and make it perform a bit better?
