what kind of suspension you guys are running? b/c my tein flex's is TOO much for me..... so i need some your guys opinions and picture!!!! i am going to sell my TEIN FLEX's!!

 

you have them set at the soft setting right?

 

yes... its more for my gf..... i want more of stock ride quality

 

I'm running Tein SS-P's with a bunch of other braces, bars, endlinks etc... The ride is definitely wifey approved! I think your problem is the Flex's. I've heard that they're too stiff for daily driving.

 

yeah....thanks for the info and i have back problems so its not helping that.

 

I'm running Tein S-tech springs on stock struts...rides sooo nice!

And here's some pics

 

I head the bilsteins and ohlins are awsome, but thoes are some serious cash for supsension, way to rich for my blood. Guys have had decent ride with the value priced megans.

 

thanks.... i might get the cobb springs w/kyb's
pretty dope......
yeah..... i am not trying to spend that much.
thanks for guys info..... i will let guys know more when i get a setup.

 

Back when I had my STi and was looking for suspension stuff, I went with a set of Swfit springs. Unfortunately, I was never able to have them installed. But, from what I read, many people were happy with the ride and the drop. It was firm and yet managed to get rid of the bobble head effect. They're not cheap, but occasionally you can find a good deal on them.

 

IMO this is the perfect setup for DD and also wife approved.

My car is a 2004 STi and a DD which my wife and I commute in at least a few times a week.

My setup is as follows:

Ohlins fixed perch struts
JDM Pink springs
RCE lowering camber plates
Groun-N rear top mounts
Whiteline 27-29 mm FSB
Perrin 22-26 MM RSB
Carbing Okuyama front strut brace

This setup is very controlled and is competitive in SCCA Street Mod class.

It has a better ride than stock because it doesn't bounce like the OEM setup does.

 

Yeah, what he said. Ed's set up FTW!!!!

 

Higher spring rates on my Zeals were actually more comfortable than the Tein Flex. But if you're unhappy with the Flex you should contact Myles at Race Comp Engineering. Tell him San sent you and he'll hook you up. He won't sell you a suspension you don't need, he'll sell you something that will work for your needs. Nice guy, I've met him in person. Very professional and well regarded in the suspension and brake arena.

Whats your take on the Prodrive 20mm springs(I think), or the New Eibach setup with the chrome looking struts??Maybe this setup for Mike would be nice.Its mike right?? Sorry I only remember you as Jimi's friend.

 

Who are you asking? That would narrow it down.
