Talking TEIN Coil-Over Battle !!!!

Okay. Need some help Choosing coil-overs. I was looking at the TEIN basics at first but thought hey the SS was only a little more( Plus the fact that they are adjustable) but then I was looking at the TEIN flex and said once again..."hey they're only a little more..." So Now I'm stuck. I want a good set of coil-overs but Not too stiff to the point where I don't want to drive my car daily. I've heard that the SS are still pretty smooth on the street but are they stiff enough for a spirited drive here and there... (i go on a couple of spirited drives a month... atleast 3 times a month) So what would you all recommend? Keep in Mind this is a daily driver and I don't want to get something too rough where I will feel every nook in the road. HELP ME OUT GUYS!!!!

Drift spec are fine for daily driver. WOuldnt bother with the other two teins coil-overs you have listed. Just so you know there are a bunch of good coil-overs its not just tein or nothing.

Flexes if it's beween those two. I got them and enjoy the ride and improve the handing of the car greatly. Awesome if you're mostly going for a steer car thing.

LOL! surprised you can still type. Anyway... they were on a G35. He was telling me that the spring rate was higher for the G35 so I'm guessing it wouldn't be as Rough as a ride in the 240. I dunno I'll just have to find out for myself now

ok now here is the actuality of the matter, you cann not compare springrates from a FD, to a S13, to a G35... because the wheel rates are different.. its fun stuff... and your brother still didnt have the tanabe 7s
