What are your thought on Tein SS, Super Street? I am looking something for maily street driving cause im on blown shocks, but yet want to street drift once in a while. Was considering Tein Flex but then they were more expensive and at the same time I know I wont be going to Tracks. What are your thoughts?

I'd go for the Flexes if I were you. I made that decision adn don't regret it. The pillowball mounts and the independent ride height adjustment are awesome. Also, they are very cmfortable for street usage. Height adjustment is awesome. I'm almost tucking my front tire, and I have another 1.5 inches left.

Get the cheapest one, since you'll need to the rest of your money to get your car out of the impound after your caught "street drifting", or pay the hospital bills after you crash.

Didnt really mean street drifting like going all out but when turning at time wanna turn hard and feel in control

then why don't you search for some of the millions of coilover threads that have been previously posted, as well as shop around the zilvia for sale/market place and some the vendors here? and if you're never gonna hit the track, why not just replace your suspension with a simple spring/strut? you won't know the difference and you can lie to your friends and tell them you have some fuckin custom Penskes, they wont know the difference either

if you don't want to hit the track, theres no point in payin that kinda money for brand name performance coilovers. just go with megan racing. they are cheap and they perform just as well...

Tein SUPER SHIT. That's what I think when I see SS.
