if it was confusing, I might get away with the mistaken identity hehehehehe
ok, so I'm pissed with having to wait for the tein SS. I've looked around and a few people seem to think that the flex will come out for our cars within the next month or so.
I'd like to wait for it, but my struts are TERRIBLE right now. It hurts to ride in my car!
I'm wondering...do any of you guys know if the flex will fit our cars? apparently a few people have modified the hood to get it to fit, but I'm kinda iffy about screwing around with it all
anyways, if you guys know, or find out, lemme know...I'm interested!
the flex goes for $1614 at tornactive...which is about $2200....tempting
whereas the SS goes for $1480... (both in canadian funds).
go with teins, cheaper and will probebly be a less of a wait, cause u dont know when or if they will actually realse any for our cars, and making some changes, i dunno about that, they might not be as good as ones that fit out cars.
just go with the teins

Flex is the higher end, but they don't officially make them for our cars yet. they do for the hatch and RSX, but not ours. BUT, you can trim a peice of your hood, and they'll fit...you just can't use the electronic dampening force controller (EDFC), because of clearance issues
so...might call Tein tomorrow and see if those biotches will give me a release date on the flex for our cars.
hrm....
mmm...flex.
the other option is to lose patience (which I'm known to do) and order the SS from tornactive
so the ss is a bsic coilever with shocks and springs??
and the flex is a higher model?? what is the different between the two? price difference??
i need to save up and invest in one of those because my stock units are gonna blow soon and i dont wanna hafta deal with that when it comes my way
The "basic" is the basic coilover. It just comes with struts and springs (but they're designed for one another, so it's better than, say koni + springs).
The SS comes with 16-way adjustable dampners.
The flex has the same 16-way adjustable dampners, but it also comes with the upper pillow ball mounts, STRUT HEIGHT ADJUSTABILITY(!) meaning you don't just compress the spring, you also can adjust the height of the dampner, so you don't bottom out easier.
Also, the flex has the EDFC available to it, which is the in-car adjustment to the dampening force. Meaning you don't have to get your lazy ass out of the car to adjust the stiffness of the struts.
flex is better, no doubt. It's also more expensive.
in USD: SS = 1097, Flex = 1614.
is it worth the extra $500 USD? possibly. but I really want the EDFC (which won't fit our cars)
well if half the reason why u want the flex is fore the in car adjustment, id say just get the ss. They are both adjustable right?? like the ride heigh and everything, but the flex has a damped adjustment. so with the flex u can adjust the rebound of hitting a bump is that it? im kinda new to the suspension world so help me out!!! i would love to get full coilovers cuz my lowering springs are eventally gonna cause problems.
the flex actually lets you resize the whole strut! it's nuts!
I think i'm probably gonna settle for the SS system. I will be doing some weekend racing here and there, but other than that, I can't really justify the money.
unless I can get a deal from someone!
you guys watch the amazing race? did you see that CSI tonight? I want that guys camera! hehehe jk
