Default Opinion- CS. HA or Flex

Hey guys. Putting in my order for teins finalllyyyy. Wanted to get your guys opinion on the teins. i have decided not to do the HA's because of comfort level. As far as the CS and flex go, there isn't much price difference bt I wanna know if i can get really low with the CS with my stock's 17's. The flex's are somewhere out in the ocean so i am really lookin into doin the CS's. Will they give me the lowered look I want. i want them right over my tires and no tucks. please give me your opinion

You may want to do a search on the CS. I believe that the CS only lowers the car 2"front and 1.75" rear. This is not enough to tuck the stock 17's. The Flex will lower the car as much as you could ever want (and even lower than that). The CS are a bit softer than the Flex, but the Flex are not even close to being considered stiff.

Go for the CS. If not low enough you can purchase new shorter springs from Tein for a small fee although I believe you can go up to 2.5 inch drop on them. For ride comfort and quiet levels, the CS can NOT be beat. It's also much lighter due to it being alluminum casing.

Thumbs up Tein

I just had the flex kit installed a bout a month and a half ago. I really like the look.. It is very agressive and I get mad looks everywhere I go. It is adjustable in the height and ride. I can tuck the 17's... though I am not sold on the ride. It is hard/stiff, but that's because i wanted the soft stock ride(not going to happen with any kit out there) I believe. It is designed to be stiff for the agressive driver and performance. The softness is adjustable, but I probably just need to soften the ride more. i believe it is a 16 way adjustable. Check it out and tell me what you think of the look....
