Tein Coilovers: which ones?
Ok I need some feedback here. I've narrowed down to either the Tein Flex or the Tein RA coilover system. I don't really care much for comfort. Rather trade comfort in for handling performance...therefore does anyone know if the Flex or the RA gives a more firmer and solid ride? From the Tein product list, its shows the Flex to have spring rate of 559/front and 447/rear and list price at $1740. the Tein RA has spring rate of 448/front and 336/rear and list price of $2300. I'm assuming the higher the spring rate the stiffer and firmer the ride would be...so therefore the Flex would give a more firmer ride over the RA, is that correct? Just need some feedback to confirm. Thanks.

Forget about TEIN's. Go CUSCO. Muuuuuuuuuch higher quality and reliability. ESPECIALLY, if you are going for all out performance. If you want all out, go with Zero-2R. If you want the best of both, go Zero-2E with ECON.
Prices will be just a tad more than TEIN, but it is worth it. And, you can pick any spring rate you want. PM me if you have any more questions.

coilovers
yeah thanks. Unfortunately I can't stay with OEM struts cuz I currently have the Tein HA on the car..and it's gotten into an accident and the HA may be damaged that's why I'm shopping for new coilovers. Anyhow, yeah I heard some good things about the Cusco Zero 2R...supposed to be comparable to the Tein RA. I called one of the shop I think it was Gruppe-s and they said it'll take 4 to 6 weeks to special order them. Does anyone know of any shop that may have the Cusco in stock? Thanks.
