Default people with tein flex wats yur setup?

This is a long shot but here goes.
For people with the Tein Flex coilovers. What are your settings for spring preload, ride height, and camber adjustments. Gonna do install next week and would like an estimated valve before I take it in for corner weighting.

tien flex are are a comfort oriented shock. They're built exactly as well as Koni Yellows but FIVE times more expensive but their dampening curve offer less road feel with the same level of linear dampening and linear adjustment as koni, you might be better for selling them pocketing the cash and getting the yellows. You'll be faster and have more money. Corner weighting tells me that you're really thing to make it handle.

Tip of the Month, October: Do not buy the $730 Roush Exhaust which a Mangnaflow rep says costs to $117 make (polished, all ss), buy the $170 Roush Exhaust Tips estimated to cost $46 to make and weld them to another company's muffler. This also lets you choose how your car sounds.

I just basicaly left all the setting where they where when i pulled them out of the box, because thats where the intructions said they work best, I lowerd the back a little more just for looks, as far as the screws on top, i have not found the right spot yet, it said to run them at 12 clicks out i think. but it was super bouncy so i turned them a few more clicks out (softer)

If you figure out a great setup i would love too hear it tho

Tein makes great stuff, everything I've been in that's had them handled great. start with their default settings and adjust to taste from there. everyone drives different and every track / road is different.

I THINK, only think cuz im not pro at this, the teins offer a better adjustablility. Konis cant adjust ride height or spring pre load (I think). Plus I got the full teins for less than the cost of the Konis so that helps.

Tein's for less than the Koni's, that's a great price!
