I was looking at those. The specs look good.
Yeah 500+ front and 400+ rear spring rates. Looks very street friendly. Altho IMO the front could use more but then again their valving are probably designed around those rates. I will call and talk to their technical guy and see what room they have for different spring rates.Originally Posted by wannafbody

Or drop the rear rate slightly.
Damper graphs are always good to look at. That was the one of top selling points for me when i was looking at my current setup.

Goodwin sells them and 949 used to sell the Mono Flex and the Sports have better valving. They seem to be a quality product. As good as Xidas? Probably not but about $500 cheaper.
This I agree with, but its always good to have as much data as possible when spending as much money as we do for such critical sections of our car(s).
Or ebay (over $100 less than the competition).....they are still Tein Mono Sport and made in Japan.
hey guys i actually just put the monosports on a couple days ago. just waiting for it to settle a bit before i get an alignment.
haven't got much of a review as of yet need to do more driving.
i have it on full soft atm as streets here not so great, and its been very compliant over bumps. way less body roll than before too.
i was upgrading from the std oe showa coilover so don't know how it compares to others.
So is it better than the showa coils?

My friend has the Mono Flex on his NA, he gave me a ride home the other day and the ride was very nice. It was street compliant and not super stiff like the more aggressive coilover kits. I actually prefer it over my FM springs since the spring rates are higher. He told me that it was a really nice upgrade over the FM V-maxx.

hey, sorry should've clarified, the showa coilover is the std suspension set up. not aftermarket. so of course in terms of performance its incomparable. in terms of comfort, you feel a lot more of the road with the teins than std but its not unbearably bumpy.
Just because something is made in Japan, it doesn't make it superior. Look at Fukushima. Point is, there are plenty of high end and low end products all over the globe. The more information out there for the consumer, the better judgement we have. Not just go off the notion something is JDM, made in Japan, and will bring awesome panty dropper points.
91BRG, let us know what you think as I've heard good things about the Mono Flex.
