That and people generally only went for coilovers specifically for lowering and or track work rather than for improving ride. Being a daily driver I was not interested in dropping the ride much if at all.
I then started reading about Tein Flex Z’s and peoples positive experiences with them being not only affordable, but having great ride and adjustability. On reading up further I learned of some funky system they offer called EDFC. The top Pro model effectively introduces active damping.

Using napkin math I came to the conclusion that with the money saved from not having to go for a far more expensive suspension I could roll that difference into the EDFC system instead.
I’ve pulled the trigger on a set of Tein Flex Z’s and EDFC Active Pro with GPS module. The AU distributor has never heard of the top kit being fitted to a Twin, which makes me all warm and fuzzy. So here I am waiting for it all to arrive on the slow ship from Japan, four weeks and counting, but not in a rush.
Reminds me of that saying, anything worth doing is worth doing to excess!
