Tein Streets or KW Streets
 
Hey guys,
From a quality of ride, and build quality standpoint, price too I guess, was wondering what everyone thought about the Tein Street Flexes and the KW Street Variants. I've seen people having issues with the stance coils so I've decided not to go with them, and looking for a better option.
Any experience with either of these?
Thanks!

I've been running the Tein Street Flex and really like them.
I won't test them on the track until May 16th, but on spirited street driving they're a big improvement while keeping a relatively comfortable stock ride feel.
... Granted Im not slammed on these. I used Tein's recommended specs which is a very modest drop (under an inch).

I primarily got them because I wanted camber top mounts, dependability and no need to have/require tons of adjustments.

Sweet! That's pretty much what I'm looking for. Looking to drop it to wheel height (on 18" RPF1s) so an inch or just under on the BRZ.
Thanks!

As far as comfort is concerned, I would go with the Tein Street Flex. Sold a set to my buddy who has a Kraftwerks Supercharged BRZ and he absolutely loves them. I took it for a spin and I was really impressed with the ride comfort that they provided along with the performance. Tein has always done a good job with providing comfort without sacrificing performance and vise versa.

Here's a quick look at the Teins:
