I've been dead set on KW V3 coilovers for my S2000 because I had really good luck with them on my VW.

However, I just came accross a set of Tein Flex coilovers with less than 300 miles on them for a really good price. Does anybody have any experiance with them? I asked on S2ki but all I get are "KWs are teh gr8est!" from people who have neither. I know KWs are good, but I know nothing about Teins.

I can hold off and get the KWs sometime after Christmas, or I can save $1000 and get the Teins sometime soon.

 

I know that anything above the Basic/SS damper are a good buy. The quality of Teins higher lines are bar none.

 

Buddy club n+ coilovers are nice, very responsive, Under 1k too

 

personally i run apexi n1 exv's on my car and they're great...i've always heard that teins were overated/overpriced...but to be honest i dont know for sure.

 

Are they the mono-tube ones?

I heard the dampening on the dual tube ones were crap, but the mono flex ones were a little better.

 

Here's the general rule of thumb for Tein:

Anodized = Good.
Painted = Poo.

It's that easy. I'm not even joking.

 

I'm not into either one of those.

They're mono-tube, compression and rebound adjustable (not independantly) and seperate ride height and spring preload adjustable.

They're teflon coated.

Actually here, they're these ones:

And these are the KWs. I would prefer the KWs as I know how good of a product they make. But the fact that I can buy a set of the Teins with less than 300 miles on them for about $1200 less is making me consider them:

Tough decision. Especially this car. Gotta be right the first time, and near perfect

 

That's why I want to make damn sure the Teins are good stuff. If there's anything wrong with them, I'll wait for the KWs.


I need a blower too...

 

i had the flexes on my wrx with the edfc, with the addition of some other suspension stuff that i added , it was the most incredibly handling car in the twisties ive ever owned, or ridden in. it rode very well, a little hard even on the softer setttings compared to other coilovers, but nothing uncomfortable.
