Funny thing is, all these kids buying 240's think they drive as easy as some Honda... then the rain comes or they go too hot into a turn and BANG.

Junkyard it.

At least we don't have to do anything to keep them "converted Honda people" away... just let them spend on a RWD, wait for them to crash on their own, and woohoo. Stuffs for us.

If you seriously mean all of that, then no worries brother - you're on the correct path.

Super Drift is basically a mix of Flex and the old HE's - Flex casing, Flex paint job, Flex pillow mounts, Flex piston rod - but with the HE springs and valving specs. Tein discontinued the HE in favor of the new "Super Drift" because with the new changes, they can offer the EDFC to work with the new drift coilovers. So in the end, you still have HE's with just green paint and the ability to work with EDFC.

IMO HE's btw are awesome... until you drive daily with them. Flex are pretty good for both daily and hard driving... and EDFC is just fun to use.
