Have had my Flex Zs for a year, including an upstate winter and running drift events every month

No issues with noises or clunks, nor have they seized on me. Great Coilover for a daily/weekend car. They also serve their purpose at drift events as well..

However if you're going to track your car seriously, drift it or Auto X it, id probably get something else. These would be great for a track day here and there or an auto x just to get you feet wet, but if you were going to take is seriously, i think they are very limiting.

I'll be getting KW's next year. I've become a bit obsessed with learning about suspension, and I wan't something with a little more flexibility to tinker with.

I would recommend these to anyone looking for a quality coilover for a daily car. They make the car much more responsive, and they offer an amazing ride while still making the car feel flat on the road, even with some heavy spirited driving.

Lets have a chat when you're ready to upgrade to something more serious. You're correct the FLZ is a very entry level coilover, and you can't get everything for just $870.

You were most certainly on my list of people to talk to when I'm ready to upgrade to something with a bit more adjustability. Probably going to budget around 3k for something fairly decent
