Tein Flex Z opinion - Page 9 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just a FYI guys.

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.

No info how might they differ in dumping/spring rates?

The manual I received did have different preload/height/damping suggestions for North America vs. rest of the world. As for the physical changes I guess we will see when it starts retailing here. I am happy with my set.

Until they're released, I can't comment on that.

Can you estimate when they will be released? Or are you still in the dark on that too?

Quanye · 06-08-2015, 12:54 AM

So, when will it on sell? Looking to go with it.

Currently they're expected to be released late summer 2015 (aka closer to August)

@CSG Mike

I know this are not race spec coilovers... but would you say they are worth it for track use? Normal track day, turbo car, looking to improve the stock set up.

thanks!

They're great for the price. Can you get better? Absolutely.

I wouldn't expect these to last forever if you're tracking a lot.

Ordered a set of these from a distributor in the UK (Contacted a few distributers who work out of japan who said there was about a month lead time right now)

Ended up paying more than I should have (Did not realize how much more a british pound is, and did not realize it until i actually checked out, was my own damn fault for being ignorant)

Anyways, talked to the guys on the phone to see if they actually had stock first, said I should probably have them early next week.

I'll let you all know what I think
