Default HKS Hypermax III, Tein Flex, Tein MonoFlex, Tein ComfortSport

Which one do you guys think I should get? If I'm aiming towards a good coilover not too stiff on the road yet stiff enough and I'm leaning towards the single (mono) tube suspension. Any suggestions? If you have one of the listed above suspension please let me know how you feel! Thanks!

I have the Tein Flex and overall they are pretty good for a daily driver. But I have to say that next time I will go with the MonoFlex.

Which one, the one that meets your needs. BUT,..... your asking about three different flavor's of product. Hot, med and mild if you will. Define what you want out of your suspension better. In each of your choices I can see how they can be very wrong for the right reason's, so that's why we need more info.

Basically it is primarily for the street so I want it to have enough comfort so girls I date won't get scared off after riding my car once. But I also want it to be adjustable enough to go to the tracks or at least enough to make it through the tracks with enough traction.

my friend really loved the ride quality of his G35 (super comfy) but he wanted the performance of the coilovers. he went with the Tein ComfortSports and his car feels VERY similar to stock and his ride height is clean! he has a nice drop now, the car handles better, and its as smooth on the road as stock. I would recommend the comfort sports.

I've heard GREAT things about BC Racing ....
i actually just ordered a set myself. For $1000 you cant go wrong for the quality that you get with those coilovers and they are very comparable to the tein mono flex

Based on what you want I would go with HKS CLX (non sport). Tein CS will provide the comfort your looking for, but stand's too much chance of letting you down on the track because of it's intended mission as a comfort biased product (can also say I had a lengthy conversation with Tein on the same subject awhile back).

While your choices were kinda all over the map, you did do well in making choices that avoid the normal pitfalls. Cheap coilovers that use less then ideal valving settings to give the illusion of ride comfort. Another quality product that would also meet your need's would be Bilstein PSS9.
