You're correct, I got confused with the street flex adjustments. But some top hats that offer camber adjustability when paried with the Flex Z's are still very affordable.

I see you have a series blue as well. I just recently went low on coils and it's been...interesting. I went lower than I'd like because of various reasons, but so far there's only a few places where I've had trouble scraping the lip. Edit: I don't think I'd ever be able to run a front splitter at this height and still use it as a DD. Oh well.

RCE Tarmac 2 with Raceseng Cascam plates up front and the 2" rear mounts. The rear mounts are why I'm lower than I wanted to be, but oh well.

Actually from what i just read on Tein's site catalog of the flex z the coils for the 86 come with pillowball camber adj plates for the front. Can anyone confirm this?

It is very rare for me to actually recommend a product in that price range.

I guess not everything has to rape your wallet for quality right?

for a daily driver, it'll be really hard to beat the value of either the ST or Flex Z.

I had the Flex Z for a few months now (thanks to CSG) and I am really happy I went with it. Even my wife is comfortable driving the car with it. Also with your budget, you will have enough to get some rear lca as well and still have some change.
