Pillowball noise <> inv. monotube clunking.

I have only been considering Dan's requirments, not track/autocross. please don't assume/accuse otherwise.

Here are his criteria.

0. My rears have started making a bunch of noise and I can feel something sticking back there when I come to a stop and everything settles.
1. I'm not concerned with autoX classes.
2. My car is a daily driver.
3. I don't mind a firm ride.
4. The car will see snow a couple of times a year.
5. Reduction in fender gap would be a plus. Not sure if that is an issue for the snow. If so then I guess adjustable ride height would let me ride higher in the winter.
6. Something like an EDFC is nice so I can attempt to make the ride less harsh when I have passengers who don't get it. But I'm not stuck on Tein either.
7. Part of me wants something with crazy adjustability. But a more reasonable part of me (seems to have come with age) says I don't need all of that nor will I take the time to dial it in.

Tein Flex meet all 0-7 IMHO. Even #7 is met if just set at factory settings to start with, and if he ever decides to adjust, he has that option.

I know little about the Ohlins, but guess they meet 1,2,3,7 for sure, 0. Probably end up making inverted mono klunks. 4. don't know what the ride height is, but it isn't adjustable, so maybe 1/2. 5. Unknown height, and same as #4 on the snow. 1/2 at best. 6. No
