I was looking at these coilovers cause I was going to buy them used and I could get them at the same price.

i just looked at the reviews and went to a couple websites and they seem to be pretty comparable. 16 way,edfc compatable, etc. i did not see a spring rate for the flex though, the RA was pretty low, i thought.

ok, i found the spring rates for the flex 10/8kg , the ra is 5/5kg
*edit*

ya thanks for the info. I know that the ras are more expensive so I was gonna go for them but I just can't quite figure it out yet.

A thing to note is Tein's can be rebuilt here in the US for relatively cheap, while Cusco's require damper replacements costing $440 a strut!
