Default Tein flex broken - suggestions for replacement tough suspension?

I've been running the Tein Flex for probably 25,000 miles. They are now broke, bearings in top mounts with play in 3 shocks and 1 shock is too soft meaning it's not working properly.

Any advice on a tough coilover that will give the same ride/handling as the Flex but actually last on bumpy roads?

Yoshi, I have the HSD HR series on mine, they're being pushed as being similar to the Flex and do appear to take the roads around where I am ok. I took them on some very bad roads and they were ok, the damping seems very good with these.

I only know of one other JZS161 running these which was your old car actually, so I don't know how long they will last, but I have to say I'm very happy with them so far.

Good price, and also in stock for next day delivery from Driftworks.

I don't know if you're using EDFC but you'd lose that with the HSDs.
