Hi Fellas! Please give me the advice between ST or Tein Flex Z - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just installed the Flex Zs in my car on Sunday. Love em so far. Super comfy, took a few days to notice a difference. Should feel a lot better tomorrow after the alignment.

Mike, while you're in here, are you able to chime in on the quality of both ride and overall of Tein vs ST/KW?

I know the ST's are the budget KW's, and my experience has been stellar with them, but if things have changed with Tein, or if I had a one off bad experience, I'd like to know!

Thanks

Both are quality products by Tier 2 manufacturers. I wouldn't hesitate to vouch for either.

Thanks Mike, experience aside it's nice to have the broader experience of someone who does this more often with more people!

So Flex Z for daily driver with no track/ autox and ST for daily with track and autox?

I think neither are likely recommendations if you're serious about your tracking/AutoX. I know people do race on them, but ...

Save and buy once, start cheap and work your way up as you learn what you need. Both valid.
