Tein Flex inside!

So after waiting over 3 weeks for my v3s to show up and frequent postponing from my local shop, i decided to post online that i was looking for suspension setup asap and couple of dealers pmed me. After looking through i decided to go with Kronos performance. What a service! Adam is the guy to call if you want something and dont want to waste your time! Quick pics and more tomorrow!

EDIT: Feedbacks, i ve put a good 2 hours of driving on the car so far. It really looks much better and handles great but will get balanced. The ride is a bit bouncier but really smooth. Perhaps not as "sharp" as oem so going over cracks in the road feels better but humps and bumps will get you moving a little more in the car. So far i am very satisfied and every corner is at full soft. Tomorrow i ll give it a shot pn full stiff to see the difference.

I was waiting for this!

Awesome, I'm glad you got everything ok and I'm glad I could help you get some nice coilovers for your FR-S!

If anyone is interested in getting them, we should be restocking them shortly:

The Teins will go lower. I'll have pics tomorrow of my car at about the lowest for height. (Driving on the RS*Rs)

Valving will likely be comparable. I just wish Tein offered a 6k/7k setup.

Let me know how you like them. Sorry I missed your post we are Canadian and have 7 sets in stock of the TIEN's.
Any fellow Canadians out there no need to go to the border we have them in stock in Toronto. Good luck
