Now I continue my road on setting 0, this is definitively very stiff, I will not suggest to run like this on the road but you can do it. You have absolutely less body roll compare to 15-16 and the car dive less during braking.

OP--thanks for the write up. I think people are definitely interested in hearing objective reviews from owners of these coils. As an owner myself, I agree with you on the excellent quality of these units.

Just want to add that I found the best setting on full 16 clicks. Personally I found that the ride was way too bouncy on any other settings.

Curious to see how Tein improves products at this price point. Flex Z & Flex A are coming and we can expect the good folks at CSG to test them out:

$1185, They were $1500. They discontinued them, and split it into the Tein Flex A and Flex Z.

Ooo sorry I just saw your post after posting my post...

I just drove 2h on 10 clicks to continue my tests and I will say I liked the ride, it's a little more comfortable vs 8, the middle.

Then I can conclude by saying, this is really at the discretion of the users.

You can for sure really reach the "comfort" you want with the 16 ways damping adjustments...full stiff vs more comfortable...

If you still wonder to have coilovers or not, just do it, you will not be disappointed!

I don't want to drive my FR-S without that now.

Next time you can read what is include in the packages

but you absolutely don't need links with these coilovers. Enjoy!

I ended up buying a set of whitelines for the front. How much did a drop did u get? I haven't decided if ima slap them on soon or until spring.
