Hello,

I am looking at getting some Tein Flex's for my NB. Just wondering if there are any other brands that i should consider before purchasing the Tein's that are of similar standard if not surpass.

I am building this car purely for the track so ride comfort on the road isnt an issue.

Thanks heaps.

It is not a complete off the shelf solution but my car runs the following
Koni race series shocks, Ground Control adjustable platforms, Eibach springs and Flyin Miata tops in the back.
Really happy with this setup and it has got favorable comments from others who have drĂ­ven the car.
This setup will cost about the same as Flex when you add it all up.

I'm currently building a another car and I'm going to try Tein Flex so it with be interesting to compare them. I thought I would give Flex a go as I picked up a set fairly cheap and they have a good reputation.
