Default WTB - Used Tein Flex coilovers

Putting your car back to stock or upgrading to different coilovers (like the JIC FLT-A2 ?) . I want a used set of Tein Flex coilovers for my 99 GS. Used because I don't want to pay for them brand new.

Please PM me!

Quick question: Why Flex? Are you going to do some extreme racing???? which required extreme stiff susp!

CS, HA, Flex? did I miss anything? Reason why I ask because I'm looking into Tein and JIC Magic to drop my baby blue down... Just put the Work LS on last night.... and man it's "SUV MAJOR LEAGUE"

Softest to stiffest = CS, Flex to HA. HA being the stiffest.

i had the HA and 19s. trust me, if you want some decent drive out of it, forget it. it's STIFF. the price is definitely attractive that's no doubt, but you will find yourself jumping up and down too

Yes I saw that too, but I would rather get the Flex instead.

I have the CS and I love them. Nice drop. Not stiff at all. So I can get my creep on.

I cannot justify spending $850.00 for a Tein Flex suspension that has been used for 15K miles when I could just as easily buy a brand new coilover suspension (Bilstein PSS - that has a lifetime warranty) for $900.00. If he was selling it for $700.00 I would consider it worthwhile. That's my 2 cents on his used set.
