I am in the market for a set of coilovers for a while now and I have come across the new Tein Flex Z coilovers. The spring rates are listed as 10 & 8, which is right where I want to be and the shocks are adjustable with 16 positions. My question is, has any one here had any experience with them? I have been searching for a dyno shock graph but have had no luck finding one. Are Tein shocks digressive? Linear? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have them and I like them, springs are really soft for 10k and 8k which is perfect for daily driving. It's a good entry level coilover if you want to upgrade from stock and improve handling. I got mine for $800 shipped to my door. But if you have the cash I would say get some Ohlins.

Thanks for your input, yeah, Ohlins would be ideal but I'm trying to stay in a budget. Do you know if there is anyway to get a shock dyno graph for those dampers?

You can try contacting Tein directly. They're pretty quick to reply...well for me they replied quickly.

Why are you looking for a dyno graph? Is this a full blown track car?

Not at all, it is a street car and not even a daily driver. The car is sitting in my garage much of the time. But I want a good ride and not a car that will be jumping around on every bump. I've had Tein on two previous cars with mixed experiences. I would like the benefit of a digressive shock, that's why I would like to see a graph.
