I have 6k/6k on Tein Flex A and the ride quality is glorious. My friend has 12k/12k on his Tein 2-ways and it's more than acceptable, perfectly good ride. I had 4.5k/4.5k with stock PP struts and the ride quality was horrendous. Point being, shocks matter more

I also have Flex As but I find them just okay. What damper settings do you use? At recommended 8 (out of 16) clicks from full hard they were too stiff for my roads and I finally settled around 10 clicks from full hard. It's a compromise but not even super comfortable and not responsive enough either at high speed.

I've found lower-end to middle-range single-adjustables often kinda lacking. Despite adjustability, my old Tein SS coilovers on my FD were always way too harsh in high-speed damping. Replaced them with Ohlins Road & Track which were a *massive* improvement, but weirdly enough I found them to blow off a bit *too* much and would have liked to dial *in* some high- (or maybe mid-)-speed compression damping (which was pretty much unaffected by the single adjuster).
Really happy with the Bilstein B8 I got for the BRZ. Very good balance of high- and low-speed rebound and compression damping. I think at the low/midrange of adjustables they might leave off a bit of development and/or have looser tolerances knowing that if customer thinks they're too stiff or too soft, they can at least twiddle a knob and make some kind of difference. But that doesn't mean they can get anywhere near ideal overall damping for their setup... One reason I went with the non-adjustable Bilsteins was due to how good the "normal" factory-replacement KYBs we got for wife's Mazda3 were when its struts/shocks were all blown, and how impressed I was with the balance between high-/low- and rebound/compression damping. I thought they were better dialed-in than my adjustable Ohlins Road&Track dampers on the FD! That put it in my mind that I might rather have known-good non-adjustable performance-oriented dampers than even "good" midrange single-adjustables. Last edited by ZDan; 12-11-2020 at 09:36 AM. |

I haven't tried different settings front and rear. Will try messing it it. I also don't know if valving is different but I do know the adjustment range is different on CSG spec.

For an everyday sporty setup you can't go wrong with RCE Yellows paired with Bilstein B6 dampers. If I didn't autocross and do track day stuff, I'd go that route myself.

I has the RCE yellows on stock suspension and was happy with them. There's no need to run coils on the street IMO unless you want to lower more. |

Finished with coilovers with 5k springs. Car is a little too flat for my tastes, perhaps 4-4.5k would be better...

Anything over ~6k is into the 2hz+ natural frequency range, which is where you should have aero on your car. So under 6k is good imo.

IMO that's a great place to be for a street/track car without aero. As you add significant aero downforce you'll begin to want/need to go stiffer from there.... |
