Cheap coilovers are stiff all the time, and the damping curves don't match enough of the time to ride 'well'/smooth. Full soft on cheap coils is very bouncy, or stiff for no reason (not improving traction in any way).
The first paragraph describes my kei office xr's. The second paragraph describes my tein flex's and pricewise flex's aren't cheap.
