well im not all about the whole shiny color to go with the car thing, specially with something like shocks. they could be pink for all i care, nobody is really going to see them if its done right.

How much did you see the Stances listed for? Have you talked to Rishie (AutoRND)? If not, shoot him a PM and ask for his RX7club pricing... I think you will be pleasantly suprised. Also, you don't need the pro's for our car... Just the GR+.

Sorry, I posted his company name not forum name in my last post.

PM "ARD T2" he will give you a good price. Then you can decide which route to take.

stance GR+ is the older models. Rishie @ AutoRnD has the new XR lineup available for FC/FD rx7 with Swift Springs. top of the line model available.

Tein is no where near comparable... even the GR+ coils are amazing. nothing wrong with them, just a little older model. the new XR lineup is DG5 territory at half the price.

dont confuse flex's with the other bottom end teins, they arent the same (SS, super drift, HA, whatever). flex's are actually good dampers

Tein i hear ALOT of good stuff about, but on other sites im seeing stance come up quite a bit. Thats whats making me wonder.

i thought the spring rates for tein were 10/8? i must of been misinformed then.

You ever decided which one to get? I'm in the same dilemma. Leaning towards the Tein since I had a very good experience with them but would like to see which route you went.

I bought Tein Flex coilovers and ordered a pair of Tein's standard springs (same style as the ones included in the kit) that would give me a preferred spring rate that I chose using Howard Coleman's recommendations. The set of standard springs I bought (P/N SQ060-01175) are 336 lbs/in. So, when I received the Type Flex coilovers, I swapped the 336lbs/in springs I ordered with the rear 448lbs/in springs. I then took off the 559lbs/in springs on the front and replaced them with the 448lbs/in springs that were on the rear. I love them but haven't been on the track yet. I think the ride is quite nice when the damping is set to the softest level.
