I'm running the flex z on an accord with heavy driving AutoX. Awesome

[@773chitowncity]

I would but apparently they don’t Make them for my maxima 😞 had to settle with tein lowering springs

[@ThePortuguesePlayer]

No because they're "as affordable" as my entire car...

[@hando-deez-nutz]

Had Tein with their tophats on my 06 RSX typeS and they were great. Had BC Racing on my 2020 civic and didn't like the ride. Putting these on my '10 WRX

[@candocody]

I went with a Tein midrange kit for my NA Miata and I’m a huge fan. It lowered it enough without being slammed and since I race autocross with them on, they drastically improved handling and grip.

[@jameswalker9707]

Can do Cody what model Miata did you put them on? And which ones did you get? I’m looking for my NA

I run a set of flex z on my g37s sedan and my nc2 miata. I absolutely LOVE the EDFC system that goes with this, and have that on both of my cars. The on the fly dampening adjustment is HUGE!!

[@swervv2957]

Bro I have the same car but the s coupe. Can you please help me out with some answers?! I’m thinking about getting these for the whip, as they worth it? Im just looking for some comfort and reliability aswell as just a tad bit lower then stock. It’s my daily and I drive in rough LA streets ate time. How different are they from the stock? And are they smooth out rough? I don’t want to drop and I don’t track, spirit driving occasionally. Your advice would help me out from a fellow G!

Also what the difference with Ty he ‘basis z’? Would those b better for what I’m looking for??

[@MichaelSmith-cx6qm]

Tein is a garbage company, they have poor quality control and they really aren’t a top of the line like some people think

[@youravantgarde]

@@MichaelSmith-cx6qm why do you say that?

[@MichaelSmith-cx6qm]

@@youravantgarde they're just too big of a company now. they do not have attention to detail and the finish quality is poor. they appeal to the masses. I highly recommend Fortune Auto, Silver, or BC. all affordable but deliver a great product custom tailored to your specs

[@jsaviour1984]

This is a second video that was made by you guys that says these coils are not serviceable but thats not true. Unlike the monos which the damper is taken apart and rebuilt, these kits have a full replaceable damper for easy servicing. Non serviceable means once the damper is done you'll have to replace the whole coilover. Thats a huge difference, also you should mention these are compatible with the edfc line up unlike the basic versions. Last you mentioned the spanner tools are the same, they are not, its has two different sizes. One it for the locking (smalling nut) and the other is for adjustments (both larger nuts) not trying to be a dick but just correcting and adding info that would certainly sway my thoughts on these coils.

1 year review Z flex picked them up for around $900.00; i installed these on my 2011 evo X MR, they are super adjustable great quality for the price they kill it on the Streets! That being said they are always on the stiffest setting & still too soft for me. i love taking corners like a bat outta hell when safe of course. Imo These would not be suitable for a serious track day they are too soft... for the street they are PERFECT! I rock the steel TEIN badge on the rear bumber super proud of these! Your video sold these to me thanks my man! 🙋‍♂️

[@wmoody93]

I ordered my Flex Z’s from you guys about a month ago for my 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, I love them! Ride quality is great imo, install was very easy and all together pretty good quality product for the price! People warned me not to spend less than $1,500 on coilovers but these have really caught me by surprise on the quality!

[@reallifeengineer7214]

Hi, William, I see your comment is from 2yrs ago. 2 years in, how are those Tein coilovers doing? I'm curious. I got myself Tein coilovers recently; just haven't gotten around to install them yet. 🤣

[@jab23702]

It's been "Tien" like the DBZ character in my brain for the last 15+ years. This is the first time I've heard someone say it and I was shook for a second 😂

[@Hugs_4_Bugs_]

Dammit I pronounced it "Tien" too lmao

[@mo_yakbass_9138]

Wonder if we can write and see if they will just change the name to tien 😂 they are green too

[@rog3775]

I run them on my 350Z and love them. I don't do and track diving so I can't comment on pushing them hard but they are comfortable on the street. I also have the EDFC Active Pro installed and you can defiantly feel it working and adjusting the coil overs.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Hell yeah, that's awesome! You should upload your ride to our gallery sometime! bit.ly/2obqAZQ

[@iheartzombiez510]

Every Tein setup I’ve installed or ridden on was really nice quality wise and they always ride smooth. 👍

[@Journalistification]

I had Tein ssp coilovers back in 2008 mounted on my supercharged 2.2l ecotec cavalier , these coilovers are the real deal for superior handling as well as shorter brake distances , something no one talks about. You will lose softness/ ride confort but the benefits outweights the sacrifice in my opinion.

[@swervv2957]

Even with the dampeners adjusted and not dropped more then a inch or two max??

[@Journalistification]

@@swervv2957 Yes they will be stiff no matter what because they are good entry level performance coilovers , if you want both comfort and performance at the same time than you must look into higher end sets , but they will cost you from $2k to over $4k a set. It's whatever you are looking for and can afford , i personally would stick to tein , bc racing, ground control, isc n1 etc.. i would not pay over $1500 for a set of coil overs even if i had the money but that's just me.

[@9thgizzyguy]

I have a set on my g37 sedan and i absolutely love them 😍 Smooth ride can feel some cracks on the road at times but fast straights around corners bends sharp turns is where they shine the most 👍🏼 My car stays put with no sway whatsoever and feels like its riding on rails no matter what speed i am going 👌🏼 Pick up a set of these and for sure you will not be disappointed 😎

[@FitmentIndustries]

Thank you for the support! 🙏🏼

[@stevenjohann5435]

I've had the Tein flex z's on my 97 subaru impreza outback sport for about a year.... absolutely love em"........the car rides sooooo flat and sturdy around the corners...... yes, you feel ALL the tarstrips and bumps on the road, so if your butt's sensitive, don't get coilovers........ if you intend to take 1000 mile roadtrips, you WILL eventually feel the abuse in your arms/shoulders from the road beating you up ( trust me ), just a warning..........But, if you like flying around corners with twice the traction, and lowering your car for center of gravity advantages (and looks?), coilovers are for you...

[@edgarbecerril8812]

Does your car jumps a lot with coilovers or it's a soft/smooth ride?

I definitely will. I'm in the U.S. Virgin Islands too (St. Thomas), so the background is gonna be nice. I'm a bit worried about rubbing though since I'm gonna be running 245/35 tires... my aim is purely for aesthetics.... no track, racing, etc... I'm thinking perhaps I may need to roll the fenders... going purely for a flush, lowered look. Thoughts, comments, suggestions, and ideas please.

[@johnwiles4661]

About 2 weeks too late. Just fitted mine. Great.

[@ace3ag]

Yep I'd run a set, got these on a legacy wagon and can say they work great, they are very comfort focused so if you rip the corners go stiff on damping it helps, surprised to see a 350z kit doesn't have camber plates?

[@kevinlogan2306]

350z doesn't use conventional struts it has a upper a arm as well so camber plates achieve nothing because the camber depends on the control arm adjusting a strut camber plate on this car does nothing for camber

You should definitely do an install video . Btw if you want more low in the rear just use the factory spring cups and not the adjustable ones .

[@lostdragon11]

I run Tein Street Advance on my EM2 and I love them. The ride comfort after stiffening them is still really comfortable and they dropped my front end about two inches while the rear got about a inch an a half giving the car a nice aggressive stance without any adjustments. I'm definitely looking to upgrade with Tein tho and am debating between the Flex Z's or the Mono Sports

[@4by100]

I got a set of Tein Flex coilovers used for my miata about 6 years ago. They had a decent bit of mileage on them to begin with but they've been holding up great. I don't keep them clean so the adjustment rings are seized up, but that'll happen with any coilovers you don't take care of. If I were to replace them I would think about the Flex Z mainly because they brought the price down on the Flex to where I got them used, which is rad. Seeing an unboxing of them was really nice. Keep up the good work!

"affordable" Dude. Here in Germany people buy 130 $ coilovers and afterwards complain about it on facebook groups. I've never ever seen anyone spending more than 500 € on Coilovers here in Germany, so I'm a bit put off by what you describe as "affordable". Seeing 3000 $ kits on your website makes me think: What in the actual f*** are these companies making their 130 $ kits out of? Are those even safe at all? Why is nobody regulating this shit?

If the budget is tight I say save for just a little bit longer then get a set of Coilovers!
