Default Tein Flex or Nismo S-tune

I'm debating on whether to get the Tein Flex w/EDFC or Nismo S-tune suspension. Anyone know which one is better & why?

Tein HANDS DOWN..!

1. Ok fully adjustable damping and ride height

2. All the above is controlled electronically by the EDFC inside your car.

3. Tein makes one of the BEST coilover systems.

4. These reasons should be enough.. LOL

Cost is very different between the two.

EDFC is probably better, adjustability is probably pretty handy.

I think the real comaprison should be Tein Basic or Nismo S-Tune.. They are about the same league, imo. But if you are comparing Tein Flex, then Flex is much much better...

You can't adjust the ride height with the edfc. But yeah, The Tein type flex is the best suspention you can get. I have them on my other car, not the Z.

OK then, so which is better between those two - Nismo S-Tune or TEIN Basic? Do you need aftermarket sway bars to decrease the understeer tendency or will the stock setup be improved with the TEIN Basics or S-Tune shocks? Lastly, if you don't do sway bars and just shocks will the VDC be negatively affected?

Sorry to hijack the thread and DAMN I WISH THE SEARCH FUNCTION WORKED!
