Tein Mono Flex

Hey guys,

I'm looking to purchase some Tein Mono Flex shocks for my race car. I thought I'd post here seeing as they are primarily aimed at more track orientated cars. Anyone suggest a place for a decent price?

Paul.

Thanks Steve.

I had seen the 949 prices, maybe still an option at this stage, I may just need to work something out to avoid the dreaded customs tax.

Hey TCR,

I got my Flex from 949.

Emilio was happy to ship 2 at a time to have the value of each package under $1000, and it was not much more expensive than shipping it all together.

His prices do go up from 01/05/08 so now is a good time to buy.

Good Luck.

You can get mono tube Stance GR+ from www.tougefactory.com

I've seen people saying they've had both and about half say the Teins were better, the other half say the Stance, but the Stance are a bit cheaper, so its an option to think about

So the MX-5's have identical suspension from '90 - '05?

no. altho you can buy aftermarket topmounts to fit nb suspension into na and vice versa. the teins come with their own top mounts i'm not sure how but it fits both models.

i have never seen a clear explanation of this.

Fatty, i'd be keen to know this as well.

I'm considering just biting the bullet and ordering a set of Flex for the SE, cbf stuffing around with King spring/shock combinations to get it right. Also would like the adjustability of the Tein's as well.
