Just spoke with gruppe-s concerning some coilovers...
Tein RA 10/10
Tein Flex 10/12...gruppe-s confirmed spring rates...

I was looking at the RAs but they mentioned the flexs. What do you guys think about the stiffer rates in back for the flexs? This would increase oversteer in a car that already tends to oversteer. Would this be balanced out with a big front sway bar? Looking for track opinions.

thanks

I just emailed Tein's sales department asking them about the Flex and the RA series because i was considering upgrading my Tein Cs to one of these coilovers. They just pretty much said it was due to the valving, but here is their response to my inquiry...

[QUOTE]Yes, the Type FLEX is due to be released very shortly and this set up will give you a more excusive track set up as compared to the Type CS.

Stock front springs have lower rates than rear no? So wouldn't the Flex spring setup help maintain the stock ratio and thus work better with the rest of the suspension?

I wanted the Type Flex for mine but I started a Suspension question thread http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.p...uspension+setup
And then I read this and a couple people were dissing the "Jap $2000 Coilover setups". Maybe for there track use, there not as good but for mormal driving I think they would be okay.
