Thoughts about Tein Flex Z coilovers for NA. The car is generally used on back roads which are not race track or motor way smooth.

Yes/no? Good/bad? Tophats? I'd like to hear your thought or experiences with these please.

We're not exactly spoilt for choice in New Zealand.

Buy the best option in your range. Tein was at the forefront for Miata suspensions last decade, but so many options are available now, they have become mid-tier.

If it’s just your backroad bomber, stick with the OE tophats.

I have the Tein EDFCs and they're a blast too mess with and feel great! but like how Jesus said they are good but not top tier.

I did it. Time will tell, but I didn't have a lot to choose from and the price was right.

I was debating with these along with the EDFC but I wanted to try the Xidas after reading the reviews. I came across a really good deal and jumped on it. I was lucky to have the budget but I would definitely be looking at the Teins if my budget was a bit lower.

I need to find someone in socal that'd be willing to let me have a ride along in their NB with Xida at the 550/350 rates or 700/400 rates. Just a DD looking for a nice flat ride.

There must be at least a handful of people in your area running that exact setup.
