As the topic already states, and also which coilover would you suggest? not too bumpy, more comfort-oriented, but handles better than the factory. Does TEIN CS mean Comfort Spec?

CS is comfort spec, and LS is also soft, best compromise if you don't really want to flog the crap out if it on a twisty road. Run FLEX in mine, nice in the hills Smile

EDFC - Electronic Damping Force Controller

allows you to adjust the coilies from within the car

ive got tein CS and have had no problems with them and like the handling.
ive also got the EDC it just alows small adjustments to be made to front or rear dampining levals.
Can notice the difference between soft and hard using it, thers some tein flex for sale for $700 in the parts section nice price.

About $600 off ebay for the EDFC, and a set of FLEX..... well I know you can get them new for about $2200 in Adelaide. The used ones on here are a steal @ that price Smile

Thanks Forsaken,how would you compare them if both in brand new?

comparing the tein cs and the hks ls+ is hard. they're both highly adjustable, in dampening and in height, and so will achieve much the same handling and ride quality as each other. the purple of the hks looks better Razz

as for the difference between stock suspension and one of the above - its like comparing a Kia to a Ferrari

the coilies can be reconditioned, but the cost wouldn't justify it (for me, i welcome differing opinion).
better off putting that money towards a new or a really good condition secondhand set

I have never got riped off using ebay.

The body kits are very cheap but that usually means bad fit up. But theres only one way to find out!

I have Flex with EDFC. You can't have a more flexable set-up! Mine works a treat and, I've lowered the car via the coillies and, although you don't have a factory soft ride, it is very bearable and she handles like a small car. To me anyway.....
My wife enjoys the ride and handling too! Now that's saying a lot!
It does highlight other age-related problems with the factory suspension tho and all the bushes should be replaced......speaking of which..........

Maybe check out Monkey Warehouse?? They may have some...
Or contact DMD (i think they're basically the same people anyways).. but they'd probably be able to help ya out!

looks like everyone has it covered, Greenys right Flex isnt cheap, but its a new coilover so its far superior. when i was trying to source wholesale around that 2200 mark was really good. but i havnt bought suspension since this whole economic crissis lolz
