Hey you guys seen the new flex z from Tein? It's basically the street flex series, but sealed so it isnt rebuildable, but it keeps cost down to $895. I think that's pretty good, street flex are usually like 1200-1700 I thought right? At that price would be good deal, and if blow one just replace.

Question is how were the street flex? I thought I had my coil search almost done damn it ! Either new tanabe comfort r or stance gr ss . Now may be a new option. That price is great.

And to top if off I found some hks hyper max 3 for only 1k. Used yes, but in good condition. Arghhh

 

So, found spring rates to be 12/10 looks like. I couldn't find if it was oem or true type anywhere, but judging from rates it would seem to be oem type, as true rear rates are usually much lower, but I'm not certain. I guess these came out like November, but I am just now seeing them.

Does anyone have these on their G? Or anyone with the original street flex wanna chime in?
These are looking to be approaching my number 1 choice now. Jdm quality, independent height adjustable of spring adjustment which tanabe doesn't have, 16 way dampening adj which tanabe doesn't have either, edfc if I so desire, price is great found Em for 855 now.

Just be nice to hear if someone has these or street flex. Wanna know how they ride, how stiff and bumpy they are. One reason I was looking at tanabe is I heard the pro soc, were great ride similar or better than oem, and new comfort r is just improved soc w new KYB shocks and nf210 springs. The stance have all gotten great reviews as well.

 

The Street flex are re-buildable. Someone has them on their Nismo Z on this forum and had good things to say about them. For $800ish,you can't go wrong. But, Tanabe pairing with KYB for their new coils is tempting..

 

I am greatly considering them as well. I have found them for 820 shipped when poking around on eBay new.


I assume not a lot of people ran them since the Street Flexs were so much more expensive. These released August 2015, so it probably hasn't been enough time for the community to really get ahold of them.


From what I see on what people have to say about Stance, "they get low and ride great", but I don't need the dump (not my thing), just deleting the wheel gap. Also, I see they are not a performance upgrade, just a cosmetic. That being said, I don't need to spend $1,100 on a coil that doesn't actually improve my handling. I am thinking about pulling the trigger on the Flex Z since I know the Tein name holds weight, despite what people are running here.

 

Hopefully a few will give these a try, seems like a nice option, and typically can't go wrong w/ Japan sourced parts.

 

Mines has been on order since Jan 2017... still have yet to ship T_T Anyone got these yet?
