Anyone Running Tein Flex?

Type X · 09-07-2006, 10:10 AM

I've had some horrible Tein Coilover experiences

Tein Basics on my EP3 alot of squeeks
Tein Super sport dampa on my TSX alot of thuds and squeeks during rain etc

however.... I need something " race ready " starting my 07 2.0 remix for the si

Has anyone installed these on the si? usual creaks bumps and squeeks

Thanks in advance?

It still says coming soon on Tein's website. I was waiting to grab the SS myself, but it's taken so long for me to order, I'm going to go for the Flex with EDFC...just hoping they'll have compatibility considering it already has an EDFC part number listed.

It's been a while since anyone responded to this post. Any updates regarding the purchase of the Tein Flex? I'm thinking of getting it with the EDFC but I need opinions.

I told you at the one and only NNJR-SCCA autocross you attended at Raceway Park that Tein sucks... But I had a feeling you weren't listening.

Seriously, hold out for Koni's come spring and then get a Ground Control coil-over kit with custom rate Eibach race springs (ERS).

If I were going to run my Civic in an SCCA class other H Stock, that's what I'd do.

Damn resurrected threads.

I heard down the grapevine today that Zeal will be coming out with a coilover in the next 6 months through Endless USA. The hell with Tein, Zeal's rule the Earth.
