Tein Flex inside!

So after waiting over 3 weeks for my v3s to show up and frequent postponing from my local shop, i decided to post online that i was looking for suspension setup asap and couple of dealers pmed me. After looking through i decided to go with Kronos performance. What a service! Adam is the guy to call if you want something and dont want to waste your time! Quick pics and more tomorrow!

EDIT: Feedbacks, i ve put a good 2 hours of driving on the car so far. It really looks much better and handles great but will get balanced. The ride is a bit bouncier but really smooth. Perhaps not as "sharp" as oem so going over cracks in the road feels better but humps and bumps will get you moving a little more in the car. So far i am very satisfied and every corner is at full soft. Tomorrow i ll give it a shot pn full stiff to see the difference.

The Teins will go lower. I'll have pics tomorrow of my car at about the lowest for height. (Driving on the RS*Rs)

Valving will likely be comparable. I just wish Tein offered a 6k/7k setup.

Let me know how you like them. Sorry I missed your post we are Canadian and have 7 sets in stock of the TIEN's.
Any fellow Canadians out there no need to go to the border we have them in stock in Toronto. Good luck

Good looking height there~ how is the comfort level on the Tein Flex at that height?

Share more of the pictures please.

The ride is great, but I suggest getting it corner balanced. The car is just amazing when it's properly balanced.

Yes it's height adjustable, but not as much as the Teins.
