CSG Tein Flex A vs RCE superstreet 1's

[jkamelo]

Bumping because I’m curious as well. I understand that both CSG and RCE have a presence on this forum, so maybe nobody wants to be honest...but someone’s got to do it!

I went a different route. I really think either would be a fantastic choice.

What made you go to the other route ?
Care to share.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I was planning to compete in the 86cup in street class and looking to keep my Supercharger setup. I had no more points available for both so I decided to keep my current setup and add peddler top mounts for camber vs camber plates. For daily driving and track driving I have not reached the limited of my current setup.

OE 17 non PP dampers, RCE Yellow Springs and the peddler top hats.
-2.3 camber front, -2.2ish in the rear.

Probably next year I will move to a dedicated coil setup as I am removing boost next week and going back to NA+Flex Fuel to focus on becoming a better driver vs all out lap times. Plus I want to get some ride along to some comparisons between:

RCE SS1 and T2's
CSG Tien Flex A's
Annex Suspension CSPs

The T2s look to be interesting.
Coilover shopping is a time consuming affair. if you need them to be street friendly and track worthy.

And everybody's feel of stiffness and comfort is subjective.

I saw the SS1 for sale and it seems like you are getting the T2.

How did you like it? Is there a reason why you are moving to T2?

The reason why I ask is I’m looking for a mild setup later this year and was considering the ss1. I had KW clubsports on my wrx a while back (which I think the T2 is based off of) and honestly wasn’t experienced enough to understand the full benefit when I tracked/autoxed on them at the time.

SS1 have there limitations. My car has gone from a daily driver to dedicated track car no longer legal to drive on the street(Thanks CA). The SS1 are a bit slow in the transitions and are not setup to hop curbs as well as the T2's. T2's are meant more for dedicated Track cars which can be driven on the street. SS1 are meant for Street/Canyon that can be driven on the track. I will update my thoughts in a new thread at the end of the month. I have a date at Big Willow in CA as my first track day with the T2s

So FYI thanks to the snow store we got in SoCal, I was unable to make it out to Big Willow. Next chance to test the T2's will be March at Chuckwalla

I’m not sure if this will be the year, but my plan has been to go with B6s with OEM springs all around. My priorities are:

Ride quality

A close second is

Suspension/wheel control.

OEM, or very close, ride height.

No track use and limited to no flat out cornering. My wife’s cornering limits are about 7/10ths on OEM suspension with Conti ECS tires. My personal tastes vary, but my limits are nothing much over 8/10s.

What is the best way to get there?
