Drop a comment below if you know someone who needs coilovers!
I'm leaning toward putting the Flex Z on the wish list for my Z32. I like the OEM ride, but it just needs to be a little lower to the ground. 1" drop would be perfect. Back in the day, I had Super Street coilovers on an Integra GSR - very good performers!
I’m loving my z32 already low so be careful!!! Any lower will cause you to have a heart attack for any curb or speed bump and I mean any size. I learned the hard way. I recommend stock height to above headaches.
This couldn't come at a better time! I've been looking at coilovers for weeks for my RSX DD. Stuck on Tein Flex Z (remote adjusting on the fly sounds nice), BC BR or K-tuned K1...doh! Out of respect for your business I won't mention where I can find them for roughly $200 cheaper on all of them though. :/ Help a brotha out? Wanna send me all three & I'll do a detailed comparison right up and video.
CEO of 200 horsepower right here.
Been running TEIN Street Advance Z coils on my miata for a year and they're great!
I have them on my civic and they're also great
Tyrique Bolden civic si or just the regular civic models?
@@alexquinn8751 it's a 93 civic so just an lx, I did pick up a b16a2 block for it tho so that'll be going in sometime later this year
Did you also swap bushings/roll bar and stuff or just the coils?
I like mine too, only downside is adjusting height messes with the preload
Tein has been around for a few decades and that should mean something. Good choice!
I got mine installed February 1st 2019 and so far they are great!!! I’ve only added 4,000 miles on them and they are great!!
Can never go wrong with Tein! Definitely like the way these ride compared to other options out there.
I'm bouta pull the trigger on a set of Flex Z's myself. After this next paycheck, definitely snagging them
Ayeeee
How have they been working out? I ordered me a pair but only thing that gets me concerned is the twin tube design
@@Onelovej what is a twin tube design?
Can you guys do a in-depth comparison between bags and air cups and which one would be the cheaper/better pick up?
Good suggestion!
The 86 Old and New are some of the best drivers cars ever. Great choice of cheaper higher end coil-overs.
I just put some Flex Z coilovers on my 06 STI and I love them so far. They handle my horrible Ohio roads very well.
Installed the tein flex z on my 9th gen Accord and I must say I’m loving the static life. Car feels like a race car
Race boat?🤷🏿♂️
Its been 1 year with my stock wrx
...I still dont have coilovers im only 4 miles away from you guys cant wait for spring.👍
Just bought and installed tein flex z coilovers for my 02 Acura TL type s from you guys last summer!! I love them! ❤️❤️
I just ordered them how u liking them so far?
I have a 10th gen si so I'm pretty limited on coilovers because I need something that will bypass the ads. I was going back and forth between hks and tein. I'm happy I found this video to help solidify my choice with tein. Hks is just to much money for me to justify right now so I will be ordering flex z's here soon
I run the Flex A on my 2018 STI. It has camber adjustment and hydraulic bump stop and I think they are great for a street car. Adjust them soft and it’s more comfortable than stock. Adjust stiff and they will spank a tight mountain road.👍
The flex A's are for rally. I wanted to know what all the options were about and that's what I found. Crazy, I wouldn't think about rally coilovers but it's good that you like them
Turner sway bar end links are the best around. Dual adjustability and every single size range is there. They are beefy AF too. When lowering a 335i you need longer front end links and they are nearly a foot long. No problems. Ever.
Thank you for doing this video. I have to replace the coilovers on my car and I've been dreading it because I'm anticipating a price around $1500. I'm very much considering something like what you're running on your frs. Comfort is #1 priority. I went too firm on the suspension with the last car I owned and regretted it ever since. So does my back lol
I bought the Street Basis Z because I was broke and I was pretty surprised. They aren’t very stiff and sure as hell go down on highway dips, but if you’re looking for an OEM+ sort of feel without shaking your spine out, you can’t go wrong with those. Just don’t forget to buy top mounts, I added 3 hours to my install because I had to pull my old ones off
What top mounts did you get?
@@corn_puffs1267he used oem it looks like
Had Basis Zs on my G37.... loved em, gonna get Flex Zs for my TLX soon
Great video! I'm considering some Street Advance z's and this review will help a lot!
Great video, as I plan to get that same Flex Z for my EM1 ! 🔥
Next is BC Racing ... Thanks
*1:06** the white car looks dope tho!*
Thank you for the 1year review dude.
I ran a set of Tein lowering springs for my 03 Altima, loved the ride and look. Now years later I'm looking for my first set of Coils on my 15 Si, thank you for a review that took a long time to do instead of just after purchase
Flex Z on my is300 and its a perfect balance between stability and comfort
so when changing sway bar end links just use a pair of vice grips on the rubber piece to stop it from spinning, a whole lot easier than messing with allen keys and wrenches and lets you use an impact with a socket on the bolt
Have teins on my Accord, love them for the price! Good ride and build quality.
What generation Accord do you have ?
Alan Nunez 7th gen gang?
Aye i have a 7th gen gen too
@@alannunez865 I have 7th gen type s as well and i´m looking for coils, i´m srsly considering tein flex z / flex A.
@@ryanpitre1593 had any creaking? Not sure where mine is creaking
Nice glad their still doing good 👍
I have em on my ft86 & they’re sweet
Their aight for a kit, I’m a Koni adjustable paired with H&R springs guy on the Supra
I’ve been running tein flex z on my is300 for like 6 months now, and no complaints
planned on buying some , what’s the spring rate ur running? how did they compare to stock ride comfort?
BIG JDM I’m running whatever they came on the 10k front and 8k rear and haven’t changed/altered them in any way and compared to stock it feels similar in a way that it absorbs bumps, and overall good choice 👍
Have Flex Z’s on my Evo IX and they’re great
Tein street advance z on my 2jz32 slicktop. Holds it well.
Nice vid bud, I’m thinking about getting coilovers this year and might go with Tein
Aye not a bad idea! Gels really loves his set, Plus we have some other people at the shop who are running them as well!
Threw these on my is they are great gonna go with the mono next. Then recommends every 36k to cha ge them out, and I hit the canyons pretty often so itll be coming up soon, they seem to have a little more bounce to them coming up on 28k, I figured there just really broken in so just tightened up the damping a bit.
Question for Gels. Do you notice some noise from the Flex Z Coilovers when driving over rough road? It's not all the time, but I do notice it. I have the flex z's on my 2016 honda civic and the ride quality Is awesome, handles well, and I love all the adjustability that comes with the Tein flex z system. I'm not complaining, it's just something that I've noticed. I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed it. I work in automotive the automotive industry, so I imagine that the noise may be because of all the adjustability and moving parts that come with this system. Definitely recommend this system to anyone looking to lower the ride.
Great video. It's awesome to see you give a nod to other TH-cam channels like @justinbuice and his install video
Thinking of putting these on my 93 RX7. It's street driven with quite a bit of highway travel. Don't want to lower it much, if any. Sounds like a good choice for that. Do you have any other thoughts on this?
Gels is the GOAT
Bah🐐
Gels, what are your thoughts about the EDFC and is it available for the z flex coilovers?
I keep hearing you have to use the Allen wrench for the sway link, but my buddy and I changed his springs for Tein's on his 2019 86 TRD and we just used a 17 mm on it and it came off fine. Did they change it just for that car, or is it bc its brand new?
Trick to bypassing the swaybar endlinks, drop both left and right shocks at the same side.
Did you replace the sway bar end links with OEM or adjustable?
I need coils for my soon to be turbo miata, but I’m stuck between twin, be racing, or Megan racing
i need a more Drift/Track Coilover for this Price
Vmaxx ? Maxpeeding ? Or Tein is good for this ? ( i tried the Basic Street it was not that stiff to the rear on a NA Miata, i have the NB )
Do you scrape though for daily driving ?
These or bc racing with swift springs? Regardless of price
I have street advance z on my 98 impreza 2.5rs that came on the car when bought, I like them but I hate that changing height also messes with how the coilover feels so I'll probably get different ones later on.
I run the Flex Z's on my Rx8. They definitely make my car sit nicely on 19' Axis Hiro rims

Great video! Would love to see more long term test/review videos.
Did you say we need a sway bar for tein coilovers? Sorry im confused and new to these.
For the tein coilovers you have for the Corolla hatchback will it work for the 2022
What is the wheel immediately next to Gel's head on the right? I need to have that!!
Does anyone have a good ride height recommendation for a 2015 honda accord daily driver? Looking to lower it just enough to have a after market look but not too much where I have to consider damage risks
Nice review. See this is what I might have to grab
What are the spring rates and dampening adjustability ?
Looking for a set of coilovers for my 2007 Toyota Auris (E15)1.4 D-4D 90hp european model with adjustemnts hard and soft ! EDFC and I think a Flex A would be good ? correct me if i am wrong!???
I have bc racing br! I wonder how different the ride is
I know for the street basis z you need to get new top mounts, or remove them from your old one, I want to go down the route of getting new ones so my question is, should I get oem top mounts or a certain aftermarket one
Did you break them in at a higher setting at first.?
I could be just experiencing this because I upgraded the already pretty great stock suspension of my ap1 s2000, but I installed the flex z suspension on my car about 4 months ago and have been nothing but dissatisfied with them. In all honestly I hate them on my car because it doesn’t even feel like an s2000 anymore. I’m lucky because it’s not my daily anymore because it damn near made the car undrivable on these crappy Memphis roads, especially at higher speeds. The ONLY thing these coilovers did was make my car look a lot better than stock. In every other way the car is worse than before and if it were to hit the track I know it would hit worse times as well. Anyway I’m just posting this to make sure no one else gets roped into the wrong set like I did. I always hated the people that said this when I was researching for these parts but suspension is a huge part of the feel of your car and In this case like many others I’ve learned yet again that you get what you pay for. I wish I would have saved a little more and bought the tier above or really done this right and saved up twice as much got some fortune autos, kw, or even some Bc’s. No hate, just my 2 cents
I was thinking tein but I ended up getting BC coilovers for my gen coupe!
Nothing wrong with that! You should upload some pics of your Gen coupe to our gallery sometime! ---> www.fitmentindustries.com/add-wheel-offset
@@FitmentIndustries Will do!
Nice
Gels finishes almost every sentence...kind..of...like...this. And now you can't unhear it.
Darren Pleasant not any more I can’t 😂
Put 20k miles into them as soon as I installed to gt86. 5 click stiffest all round daily. Hoping they last long lol
Question, do we need to be concerned about Roll Control Adjusters? Are they needed for a mild drop?
Also, even if a person has the ability, and tools, sometimes we need to find a garage that would be OK working on modified cars or to go ahead and modify car. Any advice in finding a Mechanic OK with doing this (I know some garages that don't even like working on older cars)
Hey Fitment Industries, are the HKS Hipermax IV GT 20Spec significantly better than the TEIN Flex Z / Flex A? I believe they are monotube, so maybe a better comparison is the TEIN Mono Sport?
We don't have much experience with the HKS coilovers, but if they are monotube the more accurate comparison would be the Monosport
Lets go
No staff discount?
And then there’s me with my cheapass eBay specials that came with my G, im surprised they’re actually not too bad.
I just got a question, do Tein coilovers work on any vehicle out here, like a European vehicle perhaps, got a 1996 306, just wondering if it will work on it?
They definitely don't fit any ride, However if you would like shoot us an email and we can double check that for you! shop@fitmentindustries.com
Skunk 2 pro c vs flex z?
you sell these from your store TEIN-VSSB6-C1SS3. Are they made for american roads or all sets made the same ie spring rate etc. I believe they're 7/6kg F/R ?
Thanks !
How are they on bumpy roads?
Where did you get them Coilovers Fitment Industries.com ???? 🤔
I have the street basis z and my rear passenger one clunks 😥
You're doing the link pins the hard way. You just use a rattle gun. Spray on some wd40. Rattle them off, then rattle them back on. Unless the ball joint is badly worn, in which case they need replacing anyway.
Fitment industries should make a "so you want a hyundai veloster"
teins ride pretty good
Every video from Fitmemt Industries its always
“wheels tires and suspension”
“ Don’t forget wheels tires and suspension”
“Oh yeah did I forget to mention wheels tires and suspension”
They act like they’re trying to sell this stuff
😁
So after my rust delete mission, im going for my tires wheel suspension and then we can talk about it on driver 2 driver. Yes even?!?!
Someone do this with Racelands
As someone who made that mistake when I was 17 just No
Theyre Not that bad
I would love a video on them, I've been looking around lately, and most people say they are pretty good
@@Henry14141 I have them and they have pretty good handling and theyre okay on ride comfort
Cadeorade 10 racelands are kool for buckets that are daily’s cuz they better than eBay coilovers
Link to Tein suspension parts is broken at time of writing.
Should be updated!
Street Basis is kinda pointless considering that Street Advance is just barely more expensive (in my Miata example it's $500 vs. $600).
You could've run without the sway bar for a couple days 😅
How good do these work? I got the pro kit eibach lowering springs and shocks And I only Laura my car 1.2 inches in the front and 1.3 inches in the back and the ride is pretty good but over bumps and bumpy roads it does not ride good. I feel like eibach is a big company they should make a better products😡😡especially only about an inch and a quarter lowered and over bumps and bumpy the ride is not good that’s pretty sad. So again how good are these Tein coil overs I have a 2012 charger SXT. I just want an inch and a quarter lowered Front and back with a good ride even over bumpy roads.
Anyone run this with 10th gen civic sport hatch?
Got the tein flex z on my is300 sportcross 6 year later and 120 000km later i sell the car and need to temove it (the New owner want oem car )
The coilover doesn't leak , or get any Bad sound
I just put them for sale
Hmmmm... Fortune auto 500 or tein coils 🤔🤔🤔
Do they make it 2019 Toyota Camry???
Nothing from Tein sadly! However I have some other options that do fit your ride! --> www.fitmentindustries.com/store/suspension?year=2019&make=Toyota&model=Camry&trim=LE
bag the wagoon
GELS I NEED YOU TO RECOMMEND ME WHEELS
For what car my man?
Fitment Industries 2017 toybaru eightuh sixuh
Speedyboi
Tein coilovers not for me. Prefer a stiff planted ride. I end up getting rev9 coilovers. Cost less with more adjustments
I had the same issue lmao
You of all people to be on stock wheels 😳🤣
Where’s the young old man
😂
I 100% thought I've been subscribed for months and just realized I'm not 🤦♂️
Basically he said they are GOOD. No need to waste 10 min.
