*OPINIONS PLEASE* Tein SS vs Flex

***nighthawk06Si*** · 08-22-2007, 03:03 AM

hey guys i'm just looking into suspension right now for future upgrades... Decided to go with Tein stuff. The car is a DD and at first i wanted to go flex all the way but now as i'm reading some reviews it sounds as if the SS is already stiff enough for the streets. Also i plan on getting EDFC so i can easily adjust them depending on fun drives or when i'm driving passengers who prefers a smooth ride rather then a really bumpy one..

Is soft on the flex really soft(softer then stock) or basically what the stock suspension is now?
P.S. i do care about ride height, something lower then stock, so no HFP.
Thanks

Well im gonna with the Tein SS because the flex are too stiff...the ss are more for the street and flex are racing.

I'd go with the Flex. Is the EDFC even compatable with the SS?

I have the FLEX on my FG2 and I have the SS on my CG5 Accord (98-02). The FLEX are more track inspiried. They do have pillowball upper mounts and a fully threaded shock with a pre-loaded spring. The ride is more firm than the SS. If you are looking for a DD suspensions get the SS.

If you need a set let me know. We keep htem in sotck.
