Ive done some reading about these coilovers. Best of both worlds with the ability to have a comfortable ride and the ability to adjust as well. My question is out there to those who have driven on both. How do the CS handle compared to the FLEX if you were to put the CS on its stiffest setting? Ive heard it is not much more than the stock feel.

Thanks

 

Its not that much stiffer than stock, even on its stiffest setting. No where near comparison with FLEX. Good comfort for daily driving though. Also just a heads up, if you want to order Tein CST, you should order it this week. Starting September 1st, all CST models are going up in price.

 

how the handling with the CST coils?

 

Definitely better than stock, but not much else.

 

Tein CS (Monotube constructionad, adjustable dampners )
Special Note: A comfort ride system compare to HKS LS.They are valved and sprung to fulfill their intended mission of offering up improved ride comfort. More specifically their valving will impact the performance they can deliver. And to add, revalving them is extremely expensive if you find they are too soft for you. If you want performance, pick a different Tein offering or pick a different brand.
Spring rates 392/392

Tein Flex (twin tube construction, adjustable dampners
Full-length adjustment and height adjustment for separate setting of the height and spring preload
Spring rates 672/672
Side Note: Extremely high spring rates mean even when the adjustable damping is set as low as possible, you may not find ride quality happiness, several reports of this setups harshness exist Yet a few owner comment’s of a “like stock ride quality” also exist. However given the fact that they use a spring stiffness that’s over 100% stiffer then oem, if ride quality is of concern, either hitch a ride in a car equipped with them or make a different choice.

 

so what coilovers should one get if they want really good handling w the best ride possible?..im not saying stock quality but as close to it i guess

 

I have the Bilstien PSS9 and its pretty close to stock on the softest setting

 

if the cst is barely stiffer than stock then how does the flex on its softest setting compare to the stock set up on the G?

 

FLEX on its softest setting is still very much more stiff than stock.
