[NB] Tein coilover choice for 95% street use (street flex?)
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2015 10:56 am
Hi all,
Looking for some testimonials and/or experiences for the Tein Street Flex coilovers for the NB miata. I've seen a few from miata.net and elsewhere, but have also heard some horror stories. Not sure if it all boiled down to properly setting preload which I'm still currently learning more about. I always thought Tein was a fairly reputable and quality maker.
I'm looking for a setup for 95% spirited streeting on Western Canadian roads (SUMMER ONLY CAR), and will be doing some casual open track lapping and autoX. As for as aesthetics go, looking for a modest drop in ride height (12.75-13"). Budget is around the < $1500 but depending on what I'll be getting out of it. Will also be getting sways.
Additionally, Brian, do you recommend end links to go with these? What are your recommendations for a suspension or coilovers setup for this application? It is a '99 NB with existing sport suspension (hard S) it is the 10th anniv edition.
Thanks in advance all!
