I have the Tein Flex A installed on my FRS on stock wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+. My number one reason why I got the Flex A is because I wanted a softer ride. I have a 2013 FRS so the suspension is stiffer than 2015+. I have the ride height set to what Tein Recommended. The Flex A has Hydraulic Bump stops vs rubber ones on the Flex Z.

I have tried running the car on max stiffness and it feels like a boat rocking back and forth on normal streets. I have tried the recommended 8 clicks from stiff and it feels like stock which I find is a little too stiff for the roads I have in LA. I have tried setting it to 16 clicks which is Max Dampening, but it feels too floaty for the car but you can still feel really harsh bumps in the road. I have it set to 10 clicks and it's perfect. Softer than stock but still handles well.

I don't plan to track my car so daily drivability is my #1 concern.

If I had to do it again, I would get the Normal Flex Z instead of the A. I don't think I notice much of the HBS but the Flex A is rebuildable where the Z is not. When the time comes to replace the coils again, I would rather rip and replace everything than just the damper.

Tein is also a good brand, the Flex Z is around 850 dollars where the Flex A is around 1100.
