Hi everyone. Recently I was just taking a look at a coilover for my 2017 brz.
I have made some studies these weeks and finally I have limited the choices to TEIN FLA or Mono Sport.
I will mainly focus on daily driving, sometimes driving in mountain road. I am willing to sacrifice some ride quality for much more aggressive driving.
Then I came here to see if there has some demo or experience. Although I guess most of you are in US, the driving condition and road may different from China, but I just like to take a reference. And after that I've found you have the CSG FLA which is a optimized version of regular FLA. I love that one but I think what I can buy is only the regular FLA because delivery from US may cause very expensive delivery cost.
So I would like to know:
How is regular FLA compared with CSG version?
How is mono sport behave? Is it also suitable for street driving use? I know the spring rate for mono is front 8 rear 9 which is much more stiff than FLA. But I haven't any chance to test these two so I don't know if FLA is enough for me.
The price of these two has not such a big gap. I think FLA is nearly $1700 and MONO is nearly $2000.
