Another Coilover questionaire
So i've done the forum search and can't find much information on this so i figured i could make a thread on it.
Powered by Max Comp Coils vs Tein Street Flex I know that no two coilovers are alike but which of these two would be better for someone who wants to have a daily & auto-x. I don't really want to see the fitment or low and all of that, and i know opinion is pretty much all i'd be getting, but which would it be? I've recently found that there's a deal for the Tein Street flexes so that is the only reason why these two are in the same bracket. I previously ran PBMs on my previous s-chassis but i haven't seen them on the zn6 much if not at all. I don't want to make the assumption that they'd feel the same on the zn6 as they were on the 240. So as a TL;DR, has anyone ridden on either coilover and be able to give me input on the ride feel & their reliability? (pls no "dude you can slam the crap out of it with these tho) |

You listed an inexpensive coilover vs. a decent inexpensive coilover. TEIN is superior and the ride quality is definitely better than the other listed option.

^Implying Parts Shop Max is inferior....... Pbm's are stiff and have survived me crashing my rear, tack abuse and dirt drops. Shocks are fine. Zero issues only, other coil I would get over these is KW'S but if you step to the pro's you will get a better ride. I have the comps and I still think the ride is fine.

What do you think of the ride compared to the Tein Street Flex?
Right, because the color gives an indication of the quality of the damper.

I haven't rode on teins. Its stiff and they are drift parts and its made for more stability through transitions so ride quality isn't really 1st priority. I would rather have KW'S for the level of adjustment color was a joke, but everything to me in the 1k to 1.5k range is mostly the same. PBM does stock replacement parts in the U.S. so rebuild is not a issue.
