Default Tein Question

What do you guys prefer from a selection from tein springs??? the Flex w/ EDFC,

RA, RS, or CS. Im talking about a daily driver and overall good smooth ride. This

could be a dumb question to people who know suspension, but i willing to take the

hit and learn as much as i can!

I would go with the Tein CS for purely street use and daily driving. Tein Flex would be street/light track. Then RA/RS for mainly track use and autocrosses but are livable for daily driving as well.

If you are looking for something to just lower the car with stock rims and have a comfortable ride. The CS are definitely the choice because their spring rates are only slightly higher than stock spring rates and the pillowball mounts come with a rubber trim to give some cushion between the top of the pillowball mount and the frame of the car.

I stand corrected. Tein CS is indeed the street application.

for those with the Flex w/ EDFC... has anyone tried to compare it with the CS's or vice-versa; actually riding in the car on roads, tracks, & auto-x'ing.
i'm actually wondering how the two compare on all types of driving
