LBR33 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I personally havent tried either as one mans harsh suspension is another mans soft but this tein suspension matrix should help Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171897-which-one-would-u-choose/#findComment-3166880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHDave Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I've run superstreets, they are a nice road coilover. I'd be inclined to get the flex's though, particularly if they are flex mono's. More range of adjustment, a bit stiffer but not over the top, plus they should be a fair bit cheaper too being second hand.

n15m0 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I've got the Tein SS and they are perfect for street comfort and track work. Spring rates are F:5k R:4K Are you sure those are the spring rates for Flex as well? I know the Flex is a more superior coilover for track work and run higher spring rates...would be significantly harsher than the SS.

joey999 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 if they're monoflex .. then they're way way better than the SS Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171897-which-one-would-u-choose/#findComment-3167168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n15m0 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 if they're monoflex .. then they're way way better than the SS Depends on what you mean by way way better...for someone tht does not take their car to the track the SS would be my choice..

subie Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 They are not mono flex, just the normal flex and spring rates are 5k for the front and 4k as they ad on the site Cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171897-which-one-would-u-choose/#findComment-3168971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRYKR 33 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 May I ask how much you are paying for the used flex? I've just ordered a Tein Monoflex kit which includes the upper pillowball mount from perfectrun. $2040 delivered. The ss was about $1400-1500 delivered and flex was $1700-1800 if I remember correctly.
