to those who have the flex can you adjust the dampers to give you a ltuned feel when you want to and firm like bilstein sports when you want to

 

ask neo about it, he had ltuned and then he got the flex.

i am pretty sure if you turn it all stiff it's going to be stiffer than bilestin

 

When I had the Flex on softest, I actually did not like the ride too much. It was actually more floaty than the L-Tuned. I usually ran about 5 clicks from softest. I actually never ran it at the stiffest setting but even at about 10 clicks (from softest), the ride was pretty firm (but the handling was great).

 

hey guys

i might go out to japan this month

anyone have a lead on who to contact to buy the teins flex directly there (i fly for free)

i am sure it should be cheaper to buy it there

anyone have any ideas or might need something while i am there

 

it's not that much cheaper i believe. and watch out, you might be charged for custom when you come back?

 

You're thinking of getting these huh?

Whoa Bit! Did not know you took the coilover plunge already. Congrats.

 

Thanks Neo. Yeah, I couldn't keep a secret, hehe. Hopefully gonna get them installed on Saturday.

 

it's about time for you to get coilover man! keep us posted what you think of them! tein flex here we go!

 

Coming soon to a Classifieds Section near you............Ltuned suspension!!! LOL

Congrats Bit, I'm sure you will enjoy them!

 

just buy his stuff man

 

I'm gonna see if my buddy wants them! I wanna go l-o-w-e-r!!

 

At their softest setting the Flex's give a nice ride. Great for rough roads though road imperfections were still noticeable due to the Flex's strut mount. At their firmest, they are certainly stiffer than L-Tuned, but softer than Bilstein PSS. Not sure about the the Bilstein regular shocks as I have not had those-YET!

 

I doubt that Flex at firmest are softer than Bilstein PSS, having driven both, but it's certainly been a while since I drove DaveGS4's car.

 

I believe I read about spring rates posted by Manary (where did he go?) and the PSS was rated stiffer than Flex and my butt-o-meter agrees with those numbers. They are supposed to be in between Flex and HA's, but I have not been in a car equipped with HA's so I can only say they are stiffer than the Flex's at the hardest setting.
