Hey guys just wondering which is better? i've tried both on my car HR's are stiff as but feels like a go kart no body roll etc...., Tein Flex is not as stiff little bit of body roll and more comfy? which is the better coil over?

Cheers

you're better off going for the more compliant setup on a street car

you can get into some seriously dangerous situations with rock-hard suspension triggering ABS in braking zones on our bumpy roads. exactly what you don't need if you've left your braking to the last second into some corner on a mountain run

hr's are old & at the time were the base model, no dampner adjustment just height, so we're talking a late 90's base model coilover with stiff springs. Flex are newer (though still getting a bit old now), have height & dampner adjustment & you can adjust the height without affecting the preload (this is good). They also have spring rates designed for street driving.

I'd sell them both & get a set of tein mono-flex or another quality mono-tube coilover.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
