Default TEIN Mono Flex coils

I thought the C.S. were the only TEIN coils that fit the IS. According to the TEIN website, they also offer the Winding Master Mono flex Coils aswell.

Anyone have any expereince with these on an IS or any other car? They seem geared for Track but sporty driving as well.

How do these compare to other TEIN products? I know doesnt have a stellar rep with regards to higher end coils but are good enough for the street. Any feedback on these??



New Axis of Sport Shock Absorber
to Satisfy All Kinds of Sport Driving; Circuit or Winding.

■Shock absorber exclusively designed and produced for sport drivers
■Mono-tube shell case structure
■Full-length ride height adjustment system
■16-level damping force adjustment (comp./rebound together) feature
■Newly developedM.S.V. (Micro Speed Valve)
■EDFC compatible, for easy in-car damping force adjustment!!

Concept
Setting
Most suitable for sporty run at circuit / on winding road.
It has both direct feel, which satisfy and heighten drivers' sports mind, and flexibility required for superior machine control.
Tires
Setting is determined with high grip tires and/or larger tires used on vehicles for which such tires are frequently used.




Specifications

A. Upper Mount
Pillow ball upper mount, which suppresses the compliance, is designed for each vehicle applications, for realization of direct driving feel and handling incomparable with the original one. Camber adjustable pillow ball upper mount is used for front strut type suspension. (Except some models)

B. Mono-Tube Structure
For fine control of the machine and aggressive yet detailed communication with the road surface. Use of mono-tube generates linear damping force, which reacts to even a tiniest input from road surface, and stable damping force, which can be well maintained even for intensive circuit run.

C. Full-Length Ride Height Adjustment System
Full-length adjustment system with the use of movable lower bracket allows for separate adjustment of ride height and pre-load. Bump-to-rebump stroke ratio from 1G would not be affected if ride height is adjusted only by the use of lower bracket.

D. 16-level Damping Force Adjustment Feature (Compression&Rebound Together)
Equipped with 16-level separate adjustment feature for finer setting capabilities, to meet wide varieties of conditions, speeds, etc.

E. Micro Speed Valve
With newly developed M.S.V. system, required damping force in very low speed range can be well maintained for better stability, improving steering response, road tractability and/or traction performance.
Click here for more information on M.S.V. (Micro Speed Valve)

F. Rust-Proofing on Threads
All threading parts on shell cases are coated with specially formulated Fluorine, for outstanding rust protection as well as for smoother ride height adjustment. Electroless nickel coating combined with powder coating is applied to lower brackets.

G. Complete Kit
Shock absorbers, springs and pillow ball upper mounts come in 'complete kit' to assure correct settings.

H. Spring
Straight spring, made of no-sagging, high-tensile steel with tensile strength of 200kgf/mm2(1960N/mm2). (Except some models) Some applications include helper springs.

I. Conical Spring washer
Conical spring washer is inserted between a bracket lock and a lower bracket, to effectively prevent loosening of a bracket lock, under various conditions.

Funny, the pic shows a McPherson strut, not a shock. Definitely not specifically for the 2IS.

They don't look to show up for the IS on the US site:

Mono Flex Applications

Lexus Applications

I wouldn't mind having a fully adjustable coilover with EDFC though...
