haha, i like the stock ride though....... you can feel everything and its fairly responsive, i just want something that doesn't roll over when i take a turn. The stock set-up is nice once it sets in a corner but it could be tightened up a bit. But if those flexes ride a little softer than stock but dont take away any response/feedback then i might just get those. Have you noticed a difference in body roll, how long have you had them?

No, you can feel everything response is great, just when you hit bumps or weird roads it doesn't hit as hard, I guess that's the best way I can describe it & don't forget you can adjust the damper.

I wouldnt get the Tein Flex for an MR. I have them currently and was very dissapointed. The Flex are a downgrade from the stock. The stock struts, and some good lowering springs would be the best route, or a really good coilover set up, something that isnt a monotube strut design. When I put the flex on my car, it felt very sloppy the responce of the car wasnt as crisp. I wish that I had gone back to the stick struts, my opinion for what it worth.

I don't have a MR, so to me they felt better than the stock 03s....... and if I had a CF trunk it would definately ride better.
