So what are the major diffrences between the two? which is better? I know they discontinued the HE's and are pushing the flex, but why? Does any one have tien's, because i am curious as to how they rate compaired to other coil-overs. thanks!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

all i know u can changed the dampering like the Zeal b-6 function and also the JIC magic FLT-A2. Not to mention u can get the electrionic dampering controlling system they have that can go wid the flex an change it from inside of ur car w/out poping ur hood <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

The Flex is the replacement for the HE.  IIRC, they use the same rates (s14 ONLY) - but it now has the additional EDC doohickey and it comes w/ the mounts.  I've heard the dampers aren't valved quite as aggressively, but b/c most cars are more street, that's not a bad thing.  Really, I don't see any downside to going with the Flex over the HE.
