Default Tein Flex or Hipermax Drag?

I plan on buying a suspension setup in the next couple of weeks but Im stuck between these 2 setups. is the hipermax drag too stiff or will the tein flex be fine for daily driving/racing?

They're designed to cater for different markets. If you're looking for the more street oriented type I'd be swaying towards the Flex.

I have Hiper Drag's on my car and i hate the way it rides. Amazing for drag racing as it tucks like no other as the front end rises, but its too soft for my taste.

i've read the same on supraforums about hks hipermax drag too soft for most people... i have hipermax pro performers they are great for grip/drift but i would need to soften up my spring rates to make them more streetable. although i have been runing them on the street for a while now. you get used to it. i have been in a supra with tein flex and it was too soft. and edfc is kinda pointless people are too lazy to set the dampening by hand heh. for your needs i would say probably go with hipermaxII or the new hks hipermaxRS. if your wanting something stiffer and something that can be ride height adjustable through either the spring perch or the threaded tube. go with hipermaxPerformers or hipermaxProPerformers.

i think im going to go with the performers...i would rather have a stiffer ride than a soft one.

yo say that now. But wait. The day you have the suspension and you have to drive on a bumpie road. You're more than likly going to hate it. I had the HKS Hiper maxx. And i had to drive it on the road one day. HATED IT. Too darn stiff..Brb for now at work.
