Coilovers

Hello, I have a 2017 Toyota 86 and I was thinking about purchasing the Tein Flex Z Coilovers and I was wondering if anyone can tell me whether or not they will be good coilovers for daily driving and commuting.

I’d personally step up to TEIN flex A. Csg spec ones are even better. There is a shock dyno on here. They’re ride better than factory suspension. If you only want flex a. Redline360 is BY FAR cheapest place. Legit too I bought my greddy exhaust from them... WAY cheaper than anywhere else. Flex z are 740, flex A are 899 via redline360.

Thank you for your help and suggestion I will consider the Flex A because I want to still ride like stock suspension.

Also flex A is rebuildable I’m not sure if Z is. Either way I’d choose A over Z. I’d choose csg spec As over regular As. But I think csg spec a are 1450ish.

Yeah that will be too expensive for that's why I was thinking about Flex Z bevause they are about 750. I was also looking at Flex A and I saw some sites had them for 1200 and I saw some for about 900

Both will be fine. FlexZ is cheaper, but not rebuildable. I had the FlexZs for a while and liked them a lot.

If it's just for daily driving, save your money and just get the FlexZs
