H. Tech and S. Tech are just springs only.
CS and FLEX are full coilovers. They both are 16-level damping force adjustable and they are both EDFC compatible.
The diffrence is the valving in them. The CS model is much more comfortable. It keeps a good comfort level, but is adjustable to be stiffer for track/race use. It's a lot better than stock or any springs(S. Tech or H. Tech).
Also the spring rates on FLEX as stiffer than CS.
FLEX is "better" in terms of performance. FLEX will give you better feel on the track. However FLEX will be too stiff for some users for daily driving. It is NOT comfortable like stock or CS.

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
Stiffer then oem by F+114% R+98
Transfers +16% roll stiffness to front
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. In addition, several review’s have been done by people actually having the original more softly sprung Tein Flex coilovers do not take their comments to mean the same as the one using the current product, the original product specs are listed below under Tein Flex JDM.
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
Stiffer then oem by F+25% R15%
Transfers +10% roll stiffness to front
Full-length adjustment and height adjustment for separate setting of the height and spring preload
Spring rates 672/672
