I ordered a set for myself right around Christmas. The CSG site says this next batch is due for March 2019. I'm guessing that's meant to say March 2020?

It's definitely 2020 and brain farted when we updated the backorder ETA. Our apologies!

Are these rebuildable? I hear Tein Flex is not rebuildable. If they are serviceable, how much is the service?
Thanks.

Flex A are rebuildable (unlike Flex Z, that should be similar to A, minus rebuildability and minus hydraulic bumpstops), but as these are not off the shelve A-s, i guess you need to work with CSG, if you want to rebuild as in to restore like new or if you want to revalve, based on their current, CSG customized, valving.

with just T6s from the session when I heard the issue. Interestingly, I can't hear anything unusual on the video. Will keep an eye on that next time I'm at Laguna... Not unlikely that it will be during one of the 86DRIVE Challenge events I'm now wondering if perhaps the sound was happening in some other corner, will revisit the whole footage some day. Quote:
Alignment: maxed in the front (-3.1), stock in the rear (-1.7ish in the right) Tire pressure: ~32 psi hot if I remember correctly Cornering load: please explain how can I get it? The car was corner balanced after installing coilovers. |

If I'm just going by a 1.25 inch drop in the front with OEM sways and LCAs for the front. Will I need shorter endlinks?
EDIT: Should I get endlinks for the front and rear? If so, which ones? I'm getting conflicting information.

Believe it or not, most CSG FLA users use OEM endlinks without any problems. A set of rear LCAs is beneficial if you're looking to have some specific camber settings dialed in.

If I remember correctly, the sound was similar to what I get when driving over a rough lateral ridge/pothole on a highway, i.e. just a hard boom. Quote:
Speaking of endlinks, is that expected that I'm rubbing a hole in the frame with my end link at full lock? This is camber maxed out on the top hats, measured at -3.1. Any workarounds other than dialing the camber off? |

Lower profile end link, check out racer x.
Could also add camber bolts and dial out the camber plates, but might as well get the links and more camber as well. |
