Tein Flex is way better than a ground control setup. Ground Control is just an adjustable sleeve. The Flex has seperate adjustments for ride height and spring preload. This not only allows you to fine tune your settings even more to your liking with preload, it also enables you to lower your car without sacrificing strut travel. Plus they also come with adjustable upper mounts. The Flex damper also has a higher range of adjustment than a Koni Yellow or Tokico Illumina that people typically use with the G/C setup

thats well put, the tein flex ive ridden on are amazing. Not too stiff for dd and just amazing. And the best part is you dont sacrifice any shock travel because its a full coiloverTein Flex is way better than a ground control setup. Ground Control is just an adjustable sleeve.

Why would you rather have such an obviously inferior setup? A true adjustable coilover is way better than having a spring on a threaded perch with a partially adjustable strut. GC/Koni doesn't even compare to the Flexif you get the EFDC with the tein suspension then do that...i personally would rather go with a GC sleeves and koni shocks...i dont really care for tein

True. This is why I upgraded from GC to TEIN. Now I left TEIN to Skunk2. Lol!Why would you rather have such an obviously inferior setup? A true adjustable coilover is way better than having a spring on a threaded perch with a partially adjustable strut. GC/Koni doesn't even compare to the Flex

Yup. We'll see how they will perform at SOW.the new skunk2 pro c design looks interesting. haven't heard too many reviews on it but it looks like the good ish from the specs on their site, and its not too expensive either. matt will be the guinea pig :thumbup:

If you adjust the damping to a soft setting for the street, it feels almost as comfy as stock. But these thing can hold their own too. My friend just got them on his GS-R a month ago and they are really nice. Almost made me wanna get rid of my Tanabes.
