Who thinks TEIN flex/mono flex are crap, ride like crap, and have proof or stories of it.

Who's car handled worse and got slower lap times running them?

Im not knocking TEIN, just looking for some stories that would possibly sway me away from buying the mono flex.

Thanks

 

A friend of mine thinks teins are crap as well, but my tein flex coilovers ride good, I like them

 

Why wouldn't you consider the regular twin tube Flex's? I have them on my IX and are happy with them. I don't LOVE them, but you gotta pay to play.

 

Of course it's going to ride like crap, because it has stiffer springs. Maybe the reason it does not handle well is that you did not set it up properly, or you don't know how to drive. It amazes how little common sense people have over here.

 

Sounds like someone needs to call up robispec.

When i say crap, i dont mean the ride characteristics.....i mean the quaility, construction, and build. I am use to coilover's i have run the cusco zero2r's on my last evo, just wanted to try something different. Im more concerened with quaility and dampening/vavling aspects

Read this all you robispec lovers.

 

Nice Thread Title...why don't you bash a product upon which you have no first hand knowledge.....

From my own experience, Tein has put out some decent product. I had a set of RA's for the evo which I was quite happy with and they have performed better than any other Jap coilover I have driven in the evo (not many, but JIC and Buddy club come to mind). I also had Flex's on another car and I wasn't totally pleased, but that's a different application.

Like someone posted above, with suspension you have to pay to play, especially on a highly tuned factory car like this.

 

I dont like Tein-s tech's springs neither. They are for show, too soft.

 

I changed the thread title, it was not my intent to bash the product i potentianlly wanted to run. If you read the post I was asking if they were crap? Not stating that they are?

 

What you changed it to makes no sense, and it still doesn't change what people see when browsing this forum. Only a mod can do that.

 

Mods, please delete this thread.

 

Gotten slower? Make sure you install them correctly..

 

Yes please do, or change my title for me to MONO FLEX Users.

I forget here in interent land we deal with very sensitive people from all around the globe.

Thanks
