tein flex z
anyone have any input on tein flex z's?
they are twin tube system - priced around 800 bucks.
Spring rates are a little odd 14k/8k front and rear.
Any opinions will be appreciated, especially by flex z users.

Two things to consider when installing these - you may get decent comfort if you find a perfect damper softness setting, and if you “reset” suspension bushings to a new ground clearance after putting them in.
The twin tube damper slightly eliminates previously noticeable shaking over bumps, but the higher spring rate WILL cause additional movement of suspensions. Which, if tuned, will only be cooler to feel compared to regular suspension.

they just came in the mail today. so far the assembly is pretty good. the coilover is pretty heavy. I am pretty disappointed in the packaging. They are not individually wrapped, just boxed up with some cardboard dividers.

Neither the sway bar links nor the install is not required/difficult. Just make sure you deattach the right right trailer arm in order to swap the coils through the available area. The rear do not require to remove ball joint connections, however, the front ones will. The job is easy unless your arms get tired of coil overs weight, because they are really heavy - which is good at the end of the day 
means more solid production standards, and quality is inside all the way!
