Could anyone explain the difference between Tein Flex and Tein Monoflex?

[The Driver]

As i read the Original post, it doesn't seem like you'll be tracking much. Have you considered STANCE or BC coilovers? Both have been proven to drift quite well, can be slammed or as high as they can go, with a decent ride. For the price difference, they both should be thrown into the mix.

Slamming is NOT for me. Lowering a bit while having excellent traction and driving characteristics is.

Go with the Flex with the ots rates. Hell, with little to no autox or tracking in mind that's probably even overkill. SS (street advance) and some NB hats would fit the bill at a moderate right height.

Monotube, 30 way damping, custom rates... I just pulled the trigger on Fortune Auto coilovers. For $1100 they are unbeatable. They go in my car tomorrow!



* Dyno tested*
* Mono-tube shock design
* IP synthetic 5w or 10w shock oil (prevents cavitation and promotes superior heat dissipation)
* Stainless steel body / piston
* 30-way adjustable dampers
* Spherical Bearings
* Dust boots on all pistons
* Oversized digressive 57mm piston housing
* Anodized aluminum camber plates* on front upper-mounts
* 1 year Manufacturer's Warranty
* Height adjustment independent of pre-load
* Rebound Adjustable
* Swift springs upgrade available
* Rebuild-able in the USA
* Re-valveable in the USA

Dude, more specifics, this looks like a WINNER! Any dyno curves on this baby's?

Looks like R-Speed is selling them. http://www.rspeed.net/Rspeed_Fortune.../nab-34500.htm

And I found these shock dynos:

very nice! any reason why you decided to go with the normal springs instead of swift?

[Silver92B]

double post, please ignore it ;)

^^^ great research and info! But not applicable to my coilovers. Those graphs are for a 3000 lb race car with 1600 lb springs.^^^^

I am enthusiastic about these coilovers and can't wait to get them installed tomorrow! Actually, they will be installed at RSpeed. I'm happy to have them do it. I trust them with my car.
The results will be more clear once I actually drive on them and adjust them to my liking. I was going to post more info but it looks like you have covered it quite well!

RSpeed is the place to go! Enjoy them

Well, I don't know if the extra cost and performance factor would be advantageous for my application... If I decide later to upgrade the springs, I have the option to do it, and do it right After all, that's one of the good pluses of the Fortune Auto coilovers. I can get them upgraded, rebuilt and revalved to match whatever spring rates I choose. For now I am choosing a street setup.

Txs Titus! I think I got a winner on the "Which Adj coilovers will The Driver get"...

[Silver92B]

Driver & Titus, everything is good and all, but those dyno graphs are not for the Miata. Unfortunately those graphs are for a 3000 lb race car with 1600lb springs.... Of course, they can make you a set with similar test results for your cars, but they don't represent mine.

I have the new Fortune 510's with improved valving for my springs (250/400) and my application. I'll post the actual dyno test results of my coilovers a soon as I get them. Meanwhile here are some representative graphs for a Miata application:







Cheers!

[atlnb]

Fair enough, either way I hear it's a great setup especially for the price. Let us know how you enjoy them

Well, where did you get yours?

Very, VERY interested!
