Under full stiff, full soft and any setting in between, there was no way to control the bouncing and bobbing around of the car. I hit a small dip in the freeway and the car moved over an entire lane toward another passenger car. My car and tein coilovers were 100% the recommended settings that came with the coilovers.

With zero changes to the setup on the car, just dropping the BC's in; was a night and day difference. The same dips and bumps in the road, at the same speeds and no other changes, are soaked up properly.

I've made some adjustments to fine tune the car to handle the way I want. But overall its phenomenal.

I'm glad I've been able to help at least 7 people that I know of from purchasing something they would have found out was a poorly made design and was represented poorly by the US counterpart on behalf of their Japanese parent company.They would be ashamed. Not responding to the BBB, pathetic.

To rwang2516 - I changed all of the settings on the flex's not only to match the instructions that came with them 100%, but nearly every conceivable setting in between.

Even if a product is garbage, having a good support staff is key to a good company.
This long after the experience and I'm still really disappointed in both customer support and service- Tein can suck it.

I understand that you know what you are doing but, to them you are just another customer that thinks that knows better and can say anything… I don’t think that because one person says that they are dangerous they will believe you or take you seriously, you need to put yourself in their position,
If you really want to keep going you may need to provide some better evidence like pictures of the installation/ measurements/ videos of how it drives on the street/ maybe take it to an Autocross and take videos and have someone else drive the car and get more feedback…

I do not like TEIN because they do not perform as well as others in my” personal experience” I believe that most people in this sector just want to “slam” the car and don’t care or understand performance. If you do, yes you will be disappointed…

I think that you should raise the car as it looks too low, and play with the compression and rebound until you get a better ride also check that they are not bottoming out and adjust your sway bars if possible…

Ultimately if you don’t like them and TEIN is not willing to take them back, your best bet is just to sell them.
