You did your homework already why do you need advice?
and it all depends on the buyers preferences thats the pros and cons of the product.
welcome

I believe my brother is running Tein flex on his modified Toyota Matrix. It rode smooth until you hit a to medium to large bump/dip in the road.

It may be also on how firm you have the shocks/struts set too.

Ill repost in the suspension forum. I posted here cuz U guys are locals so I was wondering what u were riding on around here. Despite all the negative reviews on how harsh tein rides and how much more they are than BC, it seems like more people have Tein. Just tryini to figure out why.

If your looking at bc you might want to look at stance also. It all depends on what type of ride you want and what your doing with your car. Spring rates are the key for your setup. You also want to look at true vs oem setups on coilover style. Don't buy tein just because "everyone has them". As far as the guy/girls around here, we run springs. As far as coilovers munky(tein), skirts(jic) and dameon(kw?). Sounds like your going to mod the car with mods that are popular rather than mods that meet your needs. I've done a lot of research on the mods I've purchased

No I'm not looking for the popular choice...Just wondering why if people dog out Tein why its still so popular. I'm new to mods and am trying to make the right purchase. I take a look at the True vs. oem setups.

Also coilovers ride harsher than springs. Tein makes a good product. I am going to lowering my sedan on Tein S-Techs Springs, but I have a sedan and don't want a harsh ride. I am not planning on tracking or auto-crossing my sedan, but want a little more preformance than it came with stock and looks good rolling down the road.

Now, Did you asked those people who dog out Tein, why they dont like them?
