How are the Tein Flex's? Antbo is selling me those. There are some sweet deals on the bilstein pss' too. Which one should i go with? i limited my choices to two.

Thanks for the reply. I currently have L-tuned s/s and I think it's a bit floaty still. Since the Tein CS sound like they are superior to L-tuned I'm going to look into a set. Do you guys know how the Bilstein match up against the Tein CS?

Tein HA's are the stiffest of the bunch.

The Tein Flex is the best compromise between suspension stiffness (track hard) and street stiffness. Get it with the EDFC and that way you can adjust the shock stiffness on the fly (from rock hard to soft in less than 2 seconds) from the cabin. This is the setup I have and it is just plain amazing! It is however a tad louder in the cabin as the mounts are metal and not rubber like the Tein CS. But again noise is a relative issue and you may not have any issues with that.

The Tein CS is the most factory like in terms of comfort (the Tein Flex is stiffer) and handles a lot better than L-tuned. I chose not to get the Tein CS as I wanted the handling edge that the Tein Flex has over the Tein CS.

The Bilstein PSS is not adjustable in terms of shock stiffness and that is the main reason I did not get those.

Thanks Hammed for your feedback. I love the way your car looks and that drop. How low is that drop on your banner? I am now leaning towards the cs flex, since i have family riding in the car. The bilsteins pss sounds good too

It's Tein CS (comfort sport) *or* Tein Flex - so which are you leaning to? Sounds like CS.

The bilsteins pss sounds good too
They're very capable coilovers but after riding in a GS with them I'd say they will be a fair bit stiffer than the CS.

There's 2 more even stiffer - the Super Street and RA (rectum assault).

(look in the spring rate boxes front/rear for each seat to see how stiff the springs are)
