The Teins ran $1320 from the 7store. Ride is not bad comfort wise... but it sticks to the road, like a damn rail car. I don’t know what people are talking about stock FDs with good handling. Tein to stock is like my 7 to my 98 Malibu (daily driver). One thing is ROAD NOISE!!! The FLEXs come with the upper pillow mounts (optional on HAs) and there is a lot of rubber compared to the metal on Teins, still worth it.



She isn't driven in the snow, barely even rain... It was actually 50 degrees that day... I washed then drove her for like 20 minutes just enough to get pictures. I thought the HA's were the ones bad with rusting... just incase the suspension came with this anti-rust/lube spray and I hit the threads with it once.



Boost I sent you some mail

Awesome pics of your awesome ride! and good thinking including a pic of your parts. Can you rate the new ride comfort

with 0 being stock and 10 feeling like a plane crash-landing? Also, cockpit noise with 0 being stock and 10 being "What?! What?!"



I've never really preferred white on a car in the past..but lately...white FD's look really amazing!

Ride comfort probably like a 3, not very bad but if you hit a big pot hole you will know, then again I dont have it adjusted to the full 16 or anything. The cockpit noise is more around 6. At first it sounded like my diff was running dry on fluid but then once I got out to the main roads you could tell the difference in sound when driving over water ect... so im happy it wasnt anything with the diff. I also have the pearch covers off in the back... maybe that adds a little noise.
