Thanks brother! I ordered a set for my 01 gf8 sport wagon. They checked all the boxes for me as well. Price point, adjustability (specifically the 6k/4k rate availability, and the tallest setting @ -0.1"). And Japanese quality! Other than the Feal max travel 441+, there really were no other "mild" coilovers. These flex z's come in under half the price of the feals, with all the same features, minus some travel. 💪👍
*I have Flex Z's on a 2nd Gen Lexus GS300 12k front 10k rear, and they are perfect for the in-between of comfort, daily, spirited, and track driving. They really show their potential when going fast.*
Are they really good for the track? For around $1000, it’s almost too good to be true and a reputable brand at that. I’m looking at the Cusco and meister R in around the same price range.
You also have a boat 😂. So, good choice on your part for selecting the 10-12k springs on your ride. Your springs are an equivalent to 6-8k spring installed on a lighter car like EK as an example.
Great review straight forward so sugar no bs! Ive been looking for budget and all of what you said adjustment quality and top hats for my crx thank you sir!!
Can I hit a corner or turn at 80 mph confidently with these? I want to know how much better these are performance wise. I cannot care less about ride hieght, just performance and function. Thanks!
@Descipleofchrist101 Not sure what you decided to go with, but each car setup is different. My Flex Z's for a 2nd gen gs300 are 12k front, 10k rear, and I use them for tracking and daily driving without a problem!!! I prefer the stiffer ride.
what is the main feedback or feeling about changed the new coilover ? I mean compare to the stock one ,thank you! last, and what is the advantage to the car??
Hey, not sure what your asking here as I cover this in the video. If you're asking what is the point of installing any coilover, then there are tons of videos that explain that better. Long story short, this suspension has better handling than stock for the price range.
thinking of fitting these to my Lexus ISF, my reason though is make the suspension SOFTER - the ISF is ridiculously stiff and I want it more compliant - would these work do you think? the TEIN spring rates are softer than Lexus stock ones so if I can then soften up the shock rate a bit it may work..
@@leugarage6327 That is what I assumed since it was hard for me to find one haha. It's called Solar Maiko for anyone else that wants to go buy one/import one!
Great video, I was considering these and just bought a 2020 WRX less than a month ago, and btw I peeped you were driving through Queens. Literally passed my exit on the Van Wyck lol.
Hey, The phone holder is from Panavise, I bought it from subispeed a while back but not sure if they still sell it. Just Google panavise wrx phone holder and it should pop up
Hey, yeah no real issues when I got it aligned. I did buy some rear lower control arms so I can make negative camber. Once you stay between 0 and -2 you won't have any real tire wear or alignment issues. It's when you go for aggressive camber higher than -2, that's when you gonna have tire wearing too quick and unevenly
Hey, im really considering getting these coilovers and installing them how they come out of the box like you have. How are these holding up now? Do they squeak alot and make noises?
Hey, I haven't had any issues since I have had them on. Some say they have squeaking but I haven't had any issues. For the price I think you will be happy with them
Hey, normally when you hear squeaks it's cause of dirt build up. Just double check that everything is nice and tight on the coilovers. Run it for a bit and see if it goes away. Could be another suspension part that is squeaking, especially when you lower a car.

This was one of the video’s I used for consideration of the Flex Z’s. Installed 2 weeks ago. Couldnt be happier
whats the phone mount you use? looks really clean with the car
Tein is a Japanese company. The correct pronunciation is "T-ay-n" rhyming with "sane". Thanks for the awesome review though!
Why don’t you leave your wipers on?
That steering wheel cover looks great where did you get it?
Is the ride closer to factory if you adjust to more soft? Great video btw
If you make it softer, it does help make the ride more comfortable for sure
Thanks. This review answers a lot of my questions
Appreciate the review, especially from a fellow New Yorkers perspective lol
Great review straight forward so sugar no bs! Ive been looking for budget and all of what you said adjustment quality and top hats for my crx thank you sir!!
Good review, I was on the fence with these but I'm going to pull the trigger now that I know they're good.
Looking at the camera bounce, These don't look like they soak up road surface imperfections.
Thank you for this.....ordered let's go
"you can't be around that long and put out shit products"
Ford: **Exists**
Lol I think they are getting better 😅
Please try Tein Endura Pro Plus + Tein Htech springs + Tein’s latest EDFC add on kit, you will like it
This video helped me so much I’m debating to either get Tein coil overs or BC but I’m going to choose Tein seems like a better ride
Solid informational review right to the point 🤙
what phone mount is that? so clean
Panavise phone mount, not sold any more but got it from subispeed.com
* Me watching this video

Thanks!
I've done it plenty and it's fine but if you want a track setup or more performance then I don't recommend these
@@leugarage6327 Just very VERY spirited street driving.

where did you buy the bobble head from? It's super cute!
Hey, thanks got it in Japan the last time I was there a few years ago

Dope review man, looking to get these for my daily 2020
Great review! Think I’m going with the tein coils. Also what phone mount is that, was looking for one like that.
It's a panavise mount but it's discontinued, I belive subispeed sells an OLM version
What did you set your dampening to? I pretty much drive in the same area you are in your video.
Do u know how much it lowers the car the factory setting if u just install like that from box
Hey, don't remember as it has been a while but went from a 3 finger gap to about 1 finger gap all around once it settled.
Hi, do you have issue after installing the coilovers like squeaky sounds every bump you hit? Thanks
Hey, I haven't had that issue but check your preload to make sure it's tight.
Will they clear a camber kit ? Seems like they’re more chunky or wider than other coilovers personally
Hey, I don't see why not, but I'm not 100% sure.
What’s that phone holder called?
Hey, The phone holder is from Panavise, I bought it from subispeed a while back but not sure if they still sell it. Just Google panavise wrx phone holder and it should pop up
Bout to buy these as well. Was torn for awhile.
when you got it aligned, did you have to deal with any negative camber? i want to preserve tires as much as i can.
Hey, yeah no real issues when I got it aligned. I did buy some rear lower control arms so I can make negative camber. Once you stay between 0 and -2 you won't have any real tire wear or alignment issues. It's when you go for aggressive camber higher than -2, that's when you gonna have tire wearing too quick and unevenly
awesome video thanks bro
what phone holder are you using?
🏆🏆
Did u experience any clunking noises from your Flex Z?
Hey, I didn't but if you hear clunking, one of preloads or collars might be loose.
Did you have any clunks? Mine keep clunking when I turn and when I hit some bumps sometimes.
Hey, if you are having clunking noises, make sure the lock collars are tight on the coils
You might have fu$$ed around with the preload. So redo it and make sure everything is tight.
Magicstockton yeah it’s the preload man !
thanks for the vid and great review btw. planing of getting one also. just a question what kind of lower control arm do you have? thanks in advance 🤙
Hey, I have the factory lower control arm on the car now but I did buy the SuperControl Lower Control Arms, just haven't had time to install them yet.
Good for a GT86?
Van Wyck cruising...
Hey, im really considering getting these coilovers and installing them how they come out of the box like you have. How are these holding up now? Do they squeak alot and make noises?
Hey, I haven't had any issues since I have had them on. Some say they have squeaking but I haven't had any issues. For the price I think you will be happy with them
@@leugarage6327 Thanks for the quick reply! I might pull the trigger on these!
Where’d you get the phone holder ?
From subispeed, they discontinued the panavise one I have but olm is making one now
@@leugarage6327 what is it called ?
Panavise phone mount....but it's discontinued, you need to look for the OLM phone mount on subispeed.com
@@leugarage6327 appreciate you ! Thanks
Do the Tein Flex Z's come with the dampening on one extreme or the other, or in the middle?
Hey, the dampening is adjustable so you set it to your liking. I have mine set 6-8 clicks from hard and that works for me.
Just installed these on my 18 STi and the front passenger side one squeaks over bumps. I'm new to coilovers. Is this normal? Does it go away?
Hey, normally when you hear squeaks it's cause of dirt build up. Just double check that everything is nice and tight on the coilovers. Run it for a bit and see if it goes away. Could be another suspension part that is squeaking, especially when you lower a car.
Sold out
What phone mount?
Panavise phone mount, not sold any more but got it from subispeed.com
good stuff.
had these from my 15 wrx.. not that great unless you upgrade the spring rates. overall i would look into a different coilovers
Tein - "TYNE" or "TINE" - german like Frankenstein.
