Tein Street Flex Coilovers

does anyone own or have any experience with the street flex coilovers? Thinking about picking them up but was looking for input first.

We have these on our shop car. The spring rates and valving on this kit make for a comfortable street setup. We took the car out to Sonoma Raceway and on street tires, the car felt really planted and was easy to drive. Our buddy Emilio from 949 Racing was up there and took a few laps, and he too was pretty stoked on how the car felt. Street-wise the car gets most street miles put on it, and they are comfier than the old Type Flex and the new Advanced Needle gives you a bit wider adjustment range. They've been reliable and fitment is perfect in typical Tein fashion.

Another vote for Flex but get the Controller EDFC. Makes life easy.

Have them about a year now on the street. Very comfortable and well mannered. They do seem to get a bit unsettled over a quick succession of dips.

There is a hissing noise when they compress also, but not bad.

Very easy to install, very easy to set up.

Got them on, car feels amazing, very smooth when turning and not too bouncy for the street! Now for the alignment and setup! Great purchase
