Default All you guys with Tein Flex

How do they ride. Are they better than stock at the softest setting, like the nismo S suspension. I am in the market and I want to know if I should just get the nismo or the flex. I like the flex because it has the edfc and is adjustable, but I am scared that it will make my Z ride like ***.

+1 I keep mine set in the middle which is much stiffer than stock and the car drives much better. I remember the day I first had them installed. I couldn't believe how much better the car drove.

I'd suggest you look into the new Tanabe adjustable suspension also. It looks REALLY nice and also has electronic adjustable dampening. It was announced at SEMA. There was a post on here or motoring from Tanabe about the product.

After having the coilovers w/edfc installed the ride was much more rough than stock, but the handling is awesome. The car is soooooo responsive. I'm very happy with Tein.

The car will ride smoother on freeways and bumpy roads if you set the front a little more then half stiff, and the rear all the way soft...

but is it like a bad ride or is it manageable. I have had 3 cars that I have put neuspeed race springs on with koni shocks and the ride just went to ****. Do you think that the teins would be better than the neuspeed/koni setup?

Jason which would you recommend for daily driving?

Ok what height do you guys have yours set at? I guess I should find that out first and did you have to get realigned?
