Do Tein Flex Z (VSQ54-CUSS4) come with tops for our cars?

I have found conflicting information online, and some photos have the top mounts and others do not. The official information from Tein just states that some cars use stock top mounts.

Can anyone confirm whether the Flex Z comes with top mounts?

They use camber plates.

Flex Z aren't serviceable if that matters as part of your decision making process.

That's what I am debating on, I have narrowed it down to the Flex Z as a non-serviceable option (cheaper), and then KW V1 kit.

I do need to do a few other things to the car, and get tires shortly, so trying to budget it all in as best I can.

Extra money would probably be well spent, but I get the dillema going down the rabbit Hole spending more money
You'll already be adding 10 points via our auto-x rules with coils over 5 points with spring/shocks.


V1s from my understanding don't come with top mounts, so you'd need to reuse OEM mounts or purchase your own alternative. Not a deal breaker if you have clearance to use crash bolt/camber bolt combo.


If you were springing for a set of V1s; I know I mentioned these but RCE SS1 would come in around pretty much identical cost(they're on sale right now $1499usd/$1920CAD), are KW based and include front camber adjustable top mounts with their base cost. You'd just need to swap over OEM rear top hats.
