Tein Flex Z opinion - Page 10 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I've had these on my FRS for a while now. They're great coil overs but make sure you get a tire/wheel set to match these.

Any autox/track day or even canyon driving impressions on these?

Let's just say they instill a lot of driver confidence through the mountain roads

The JDM spec and USDM spec Flex Z are not identical. For those of you bringing in sets grey market, your experiences may vary. I was not involved in the development of the JDM spec Flex Z.

So what would be the serial number for the one for USA?
In Europe and Japan they are: VSQ54-C1SS4.
What did they change for USA oil thickness, valve, spring....? If so they they should have different serial number? isn't it.

One European guy wondering if he should order his from USA.

Will these reach OEM ride height?

On the install papers the default A - D dimension settings are either incorrect or I'm not measuring correctly. What did you use on the rear?

Mine are coming out fine. Are you by chance measuring the bumpstop under the dust boot also?

Bramick · 08-16-2015, 09:52 PM

I'm measuring the bump stop not the boot.

I don't have the numbers in front of me. For ex D is like 9.6". Which I'm measuring to the top of the bump stop to the base (far bottom end) of the ride height cylinder... not to the eye

A is 4.5" and B is 1.2" I can't get these to line up. I think I'm measuring wrong.

I've got the measurements to match up by not including the bump stop. Maybe we can have @CSG Mike chime in as well.
