I just sold some tein flex and put some stock stuts with tein lowering springs. Even the tein lowering springs are too stiff for me(and my family). I think you really should stay away from coilovers unless you are doing a track application. Maybe it has been mentioned but you have to take into consideration getting them rebuilt every so often. especially with rough roads we have in Nevada... I don’t say this to discourage anyone who might want coilovers you just have to take all points into consideration. will $1700 be better spent for other parts for your streetcar-probably. do you want to be slammed every time you hit a crack in the road-probably not. Are you ready to have them rebuilt every so often? (tein charges 100 per coilover for basic rebuild).
