i have flex z on my car and love them, i dont know anyone who has ever gone from one to the other to know a direct comparison whent hey are similar age, eg comparing older used coilovers with brand new ones wont give you a true pickture.

I dont thik you'll be disapointed with the flex z

Thanks for your opinion tidgy.
I'm going to buy the tein flex z, I've been sending myself mad looking at reviews ect ect. One person says bc are crap another says there fantastic, tein are crap another fantastic..
I don't think fundamentally there can be that much difference between the big brands. And tien being japanese will hopefully made to a good standard..

ive had both and trust me when i say tein are better than bc.
i had flex z put on my hawk sti and ive just sold my car but they were on nearly 3 years with no issue or knocking/rust and not too harsh on the road (fitted and set up by simon @ chevron motorsport). i also had front and rear whiteline anti roll bars fitted and bump steer correction kit and the car handled really well with no body roll. a decent tyre helped aswell, i had advan ad08r's which have a really stiff sidewall.
