I'm installing a set of tein 'flex' coilovers this week, and was wondering if anyone who has these (or coilovers in general) had any advice on some good settings for an "aggressive street" car. Thanks! -Billy

the tein coilovers come with recomended settings for the car/system that you got.
unless you are talking about camber adjustment/toe and such, then you should
have an idea of what you want if you are ordering such a system, or you could
start with the stock settings and adjust from there

Buy a copy of the book by Carroll Smith called: Tuning to Win.
It's a primer on race car suspension setup.

So did you get them installed? How do you like them? I'm thinking about buying some here soon.
