flex would probably be better for the street.

have you thought about any other brands besides Tein?

Cusco doesn't make good coilovers for the FC anymore, just the base model ones.

I'm going with the Flex and change the fronts to 7kg/mm springs. It'll be softer riding, but still plenty stiff. I think they're the same thing with different springs and maybe different valving.

If it's just for street, might as well just go spring/shock...no need to spend so much money on coilovers when you won't really use that added functionality.

I.E. Koni Yellows/KYB AGX and Tanabe GF210 should suffice. Or if you want to try Bilstein's shock...(although not many people have experiece with them).
