Nice! Glad you are liking the Flex coilovers! I also think going with the flex on a daily drive is a good idea. I would not mind running a set of stiffer coilovers just to see how comfortable they are, but we are extremely happy with the Street Flex coilovers we have

Thanks,
Rick

I'm very tempted on new TEIN Street Flex. I used TEIN Type Flex on my Civic a few years ago, and was very happy.

Yeah they are fantastic! I can't wait for summer to really start testing them, but so far we have nothing but great things to say about the Street Flex on our BRZ!

Thanks,
Rick

I have MonoFlex on my GTS and it's perfectly fine for daily driving.

interesting [especially cos Brisbane streets are shit lol] - how much damping you running at the moment?

DR 86 · 03-26-2013, 12:52 PM

Utilizes Advanced Needle and revised manufacturing process to make the Street Flex more robust and slightly more cost effective.

So you're saying the Street Flex is cheaper AND BETTER than the Type Flex? I feel like I just got kicked in the balls

On a side note, the PF01s in your Tein SRC photo on your suspension page, what's the specs (colour/size/offset/weight) if you don't mind? Thanks

RallySport Direct · 03-26-2013, 04:14 PM

Thanks CounterSpace Garage! Nailed it. There are also a few minor improvements as well, but overall the damper was redesigned using their newest technologies and needle design.
And DR 86, I would not be too bummed, the Street Flex are better, but I don't think it is worth dumping them and getting the Street Flex. I have and would run the Flex's again in a heartbeat.

Thanks,
Rick

Like the Type Flex, these are compatible with EDFC and Active EDFC (whenever it releases)?

It is EDFC compatible.

RallySport Direct · 03-27-2013, 02:36 PM

Thanks again David! And yes, these are EDFC and EDFC active compatible

Thanks again,
