Default FS: Tein Street FLEX Coilovers BRAND NEW!

I have a set of Tein Street Flex coilovers for sale. Brand NEW!

These are the newest version coilovers from Tein. The fronts have never been touched, still in box. The rear ones were test fitted on the car and removed a day later. These have ZERO miles on them. The rears have been test fitted, and then immediately removed. Never driven on. Absolutely nothing wrong with them.

These are a more "street friendly" version of the popular Flex coilovers. They have a softer spring rate 12k/10k vs the harsh 16k/10k of the original Flex. They also have the rubber top hats instead of the solid pillowball mounts. This will reduce in cabin noise and harshness. This set allows for great handling, but with a good street ride and compliance.

The reason for selling is because I just got a sponsorship from Stance, for a set of custom valved and swift custom spring rate coilovers. They arrived a day after I installed the rear Flex coilovers.

Price $1250

I will post up pictures later today of the actual coilovers.

Here is a picture of how the coilovers look when I mounted them in the rear. They can go 1.5" lower than this! That's with the spring set at zeroed out preload. So basically the spring is sitting flush against the top of the hat and the ring, but with no extra tension. Even with the zero preload, the coilover can still go down another 1.5"!

Bump back up.

Final offer price $1150 + PP fees this week only. If no takers then I will just throw these on my other GS that still needs a suspension. This is a brand new 0 miles set of Made in Japan Tein Flex. Much higher quality than any of those knock off China made coilovers.

Actual photos in the box.

These are a little stiffer than the CS but nothing too crazy. The really stiff ones are the Type Flex, these are the Street Flex. These have a rubber top mount and softer spring rate. These would probably be on par with the ride stiffness of a BMW M3 or M5.
