Get the Flex! The techs are just springs. The Flex gives you the shock, spring and ability to tune to your comfort.

They are adjustable and you will get a serious drop out of it. I actually left my rear perches off and slammed my ride.

I got about almost 3.5 once everything settled but after I removed the rear perches (which doesn't damage the suspension) I was like at 4.5. I was looking for the lowest drop at the time. Did you look at any other suspensions?

The flex is extremely stiff front what i have hear...it will kill the ride unless you live somewhere where the roads are perfect.

What do you think about the JIC magic suspension? I recently just switched over to them. Tanabe is good as well. I've heard some decent things about there set up. Also the ApexI setup is great.

If you just want a drop, basics are fine. At first the ride quality on my flex was really bad, but after a couple weeks i got used to it. You can adjust ride height with both the flex and basics. but with the flex you can lower your car more than with the basics. Kyosho is running basics and hi are at lowest settings, and my car is still lower than his and i can still lower mine a little bit more.

Are you going to track your car? What do you want out of them? Comfortable ride, or all performance? Or do you just want to lower it, etc etc

You should look at the Tein SS coilover system. When i get my coilover system this is what i am going to get.

No to get too off topic, but how are tanabe exhausts? i have heard that they are some of the quietest on the market, but if they're so quiet then do they really do anything for your performance?

^ Not to get off topic, but switch the topic from Tein coilovers to Tanabe exhausts?
