Redline360 why is it with different store they tell me different specs ehat is the drop for basis z
This 4 minute video gave more info than other videos that were 20 minutes lol
This was great video, straight to the point, Short and full of information.
You could have went over the differences in how the height is adjusted. Like why a threaded shock body is better or worse than a non threaded shock, and how they effect travel and preload.
Short but very informative video, thank you!
Great input, very informative and this definitely helps with my decision. Thanks Bro
I plan on getting an 06 STi. I'd still like to go fast even though I'm going to daily drive it. So probably the Advance Z shocks are for me.
Woa awesome prices! I’ll be ordering the flex ... thank you so much because I was wondering what the difference between them was ... I had the street advance coils plus Skunk2 rear camber arms + front camber bolts on my 2014 si coupe ... now I just traded it for a 4 door 2013 si turbo on stock suspension 😝 lol ... and I liked my street advances but I’m trying to make my suspension even better this time around
I had no clue the flex were made in Japan with better materials! So thanks 🙏 I hope they are even better
I want less bodyroll in corners than with stock suspension. Would the Basis Z be enough for that?
Hi thanks a lot for the Great video! I would like to ask if there is a significant performance difference between flex z and advance z especially for cities roads & highways!My car is Mazda MX-5 nc 1.8! Thanks again for your time!
Thanks, you helped me to decide wha to buy.
I’m curious, do the flex z has camber plate for corolla hatch 19+? Thanks!
Gracias por compartir experiencia,tengo z flex en mi civic eg 5 …venia en la compra del coche usado. Los encuentro duros.Que número o dureza de los muelles es aconsejable para el peso del coche. Gracias
Hi Bro ..
Thank you for doing this..
Could you please tell me that how long will it last
Man he does an amazing job at explanation
I have a 2012 honda civic that have lowering shocks that i’ve been wanting to replace, i needed something adjustable depending on the ride i want. Would this fit in my car? Do i need somekind of kits or modifications? Thanks in advance.
I need a set for my 2012 TL non awd. Will the tein basis need special preloading before install or can be installed right away,set at stock height then adjust?
Great video !!! Im wondering why I can't find the Flex Z for my HONDA 90´CRX . I only find the Basis and the Advance.
Good video, thanks my question is how does the advanced z compare to the ohlines coilovers?
i just installed GSL90-9USS2 Tein Street Advance Z Coilover for my Lexus IS250,
it was the best coilover i’ve ever used😳😳
so smooth and comfortable
after my Rev9 coilover blew, never going cheap again on coilovers
Tein is the Best
can you camber it with that coilover?
Awesome video, so clear. I think I will get the advanced one which is the middle level.
I love my Flex Z's for my 2nd gen gs300! Once I got my height, dampening, and alignment dialed in they ride so smooth with a stiffness that's BARELY noticeable until you really use the car going around a corner.
Would the basis z be good for a 2010 Honda Civic??
On the Street advance z , I get you have to use the stock top mounts but what about the coil spring insulator do they provide them? Because I didn’t receive mine
do u have any reviews for Tein Type Flex?
Will the TEIN Flex Z fit on and suitable my Evo 7 street and track?
Very helpful thanks a lot man
Do the flex zs fit a 2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5i
Do the Felx Z's come preadjusted outnof the box to just plug and play?
Or do we need to adjust them to be even, etc?
Can 08 to 14 sti coils fit on a 2009 forester xt
BUYER BEWARE: Struts were missing a nut and a collar. Adrian from TEIN refused to replace them. They claim it was shipping damage, but they can't prove that they even put them on the strut because they should have been screwed onto the shaft like the others. Shame, literally costs them pennies to replace and they refused on a brand new set of struts.
im about to fit the basic z how's the ride as im not really wanting to lower my car just a cheep replacement
Fly wants these coilover he said😂 gonna buy a set after April of next year👍🏾 the Flex will fit for a 2007 haweye sti right? Nvm I’ll check the website thanks. You guys are out of stock but hopefully you have some when I’m ready to buy some late April or early May
I want to order some flex z's for my 08 yaris do I need adapters or anything else to install these? Will it come with everything I need? Wanna make sure it all comes at once.
Does the flex Z come standard with camber plates for a 97 Lexus sc300 or is that an add on?
I have 08 Honda Accord do the flex z come with camber plates?
What all would I need (parts and tools) for installing Tein Advance Flex Z on a 2006 Acura RSX? The car has some cheaper brand of coilovers on it already.

Wich would would be good to lower my 535i?
will the flex z fit my 2014 lexus is250 f sport?
Does the Flex Z for the 06-12 is250 come with the top hat?
For the basis z I know it doesn’t come with the top mounts, would recommend using the stock ones on the vehicle or buying a new set of aftermarket top mounts and if so which ones
Nothing for the 2016 Civic 1.5?
Does the 2009 Infiniti g37 flex z come with camber plates ?
Any advice on kits for gdb 2005 wide track impreza wrx sti?
Are those Mb battle wheels on the right behind you.?
I have an IS300 on flex Zs I am wondering can I send them in to get rebuilt. I daily drive the car.
Do any of these fit a 03 matrix xrs?
Can you stance your car with the advanced one?
You have anything for a 06 Nissan Sentra ser spec v? Its my Daily but also my weekend warrior. I been looking up coilovers but there is so many options im still running stock suspension so was wandering if you have any information for me that i can use b4 i jump into coilovers
Sure, please see these: shop.redline360.com/products/tein-street-basis-z-coilovers-nissan-sentra-se-r-spec-v-b15-02-06-gsp02-8uss2
Hey man I wanted to see which one would be best for my Lexus IS 350 more of regular daily driving but also would love to be able to have that comfort when I do plan on pushing that gas pedal

i have IS 350 as well, and have the same problem.
hey i have a compact sedan (acura ilx or honda civic) i just want a smooth ride no track what should i get

Do tein flex x fit a 06 Nissan Sentra se-r spec v ?
Thanks for mentioning the Street Basis Z is still a comfortable ride... that’s exactly what I want besides being low. Plus itd be a replacement for my stock suspension
Am looking to get basis my oem are abit soft where basis a little stiffer than your oem
I want to buy the street basis for my subie that i use as my daily. Is it recommended? I am a family man.
Those advance Z look sick
Which one is good for 2016 corolla? I dont really do a race i just want them for look! Any recommendation?
Basis Z could be good for that! shop.redline360.com/products/tein-street-basis-z-coilovers-toyota-corolla-2009-2017-gstb0-8uss2
Hey I’m planning to get an 04-08 acura tl and from what I see the flex z don’t have the camber plates for it. What brand camber plates do you recommend? I’m looking for -3 to -5 degrees camber. Thanks
Hi, for your car you need camber arms. Check out our site, we have some: shop.redline360.com thanks!
Redline360 great, will do
I am looking for the flex tein z for my 1992 NA miata, are the coilovers ready to install out of the box on the stock suspension or do I need additional components to fit in the car?
They come assembled - thanks
@@Redline360 thanks for the answer
How low can i go on the Tein Basis Z? Looking for a mazda NA, and my priority is going as low as possible and with good comfort around this price range. Great Video btw!
Thanks! :) See here, it has adjustment ranges: shop.redline360.com/products/tein-street-basis-z-coilovers-mazda-miata-na-nb-1990-2005-gsm64-8uss2
Hey redline.....I'm trying to upgrade my car suspension as the struts are shot now being stock, which one would be best for a daily driver!?
street basis or street advance Z. I got street advance z, & I like them.
Agreed with@@WyattHenry
Hello I purchased the street basis z and lost the manual for my Lexus IS 300. Do the smaller springs go in the front or rear?
The fat round ones up front.
Same price as BC BR. Anyone compared the performance of these shocks before?
Can’t speak for BC but damn Tein Flex Z is worth every penny no matter which car you drive
I have a 1999 civic si as a daily i live in Canada alberta and was looking for a decently low ride with still a somewhat smooth ride which ones would be the best for me (money isn’t an issue)
Flex Z or BC racing br series
One question .. are you supposed to order shocks with the coilovers too? Or are the flex coils enough. Thank you. - 2013 si
When you buy from Redline360, these coilovers come with all 4 shocks and all 4 springs, it's a full setup.
Redline360 thanks .. that’s a good deal.
I wish y’all sold front camber bolts and skunk2 rear camber arms too for my 13 si
@@MJ-iq9hv We do have them :) Just check our site or contact sales, thanks!
@redline360 I want to lower my car, so the street basis z makes sense..however i noticed there is a difference in how much you can slam it with the street basis compared to the Flex Z. Not sure why that was done ;_; since I would like the option of going as low as possible. Guess i'll be looking at the Flex Z... dang it
Welp, I’m forced between Advance and Flex.... I see no Basic on sale for 90-96 300ZX.. are camber plates worth? (I’m not looking to stance)
Did you ever get these? I want to put in my Z but was wondering how they ride.
If I order the FLEX Z For my q50s rwd does it come with everything I need to install ?
Hi Adam - it does!
Adam Aquino yes
I just got the flex-z Teins for my Scion tC. I'm so excited to have them on my ride. I will update this comment once they are on. Redline360, big suggestion, when shipping suspension, use better packaging please. Couple deep paint scuffs on the springs themselves from shipping. Box they came in looked like it was rolled down a hill and thrown in the truck. Obviously not your fault, but better packing would help.
how are the flex z’s? i have a tc too
@@n8than618 they are great. Ride smooth and dont have the stupid bounce you see a lot of hondas do.
@@Prazdaa sounds good, i know a few tc guys with flex zs. did you install yourself or where did u go to have them installed?
@@Prazdaa did u reply to my last comment ab where u got them installed? think you liked it but didn’t reply
@@n8than618 I installed them myself. Then went to a performance shop and had them set to how I liked it and then aligned.
Love the Star Wars outro.
Maybe could have started with 'Some years ago in a country far far away.....'
where does the super street fit in then…?!
Still made in japan ? Flexs?
What are the spring rates on the flex z ??
Depends on your car bruh
I wish they still sold CS coilovers
Hi i was just wondering what would be best for just dropping my car which one cause i don't go to track or race just for looks
Can't go wrong with the Basis Z for that :)
What is the drop for basis z
What is the drop for basis z for a honda fit sport 2013
@@johngojocruz543 Take a look here under "Specs & Features": shop.redline360.com/products/tein-street-basis-z-coilovers-honda-fit-2009-2014-gsb80-81as2
@@Redline360 My main concern is that the basis Z may be too soft.
I want to change my stock ones out because they roll too much.
could I add a camber plate to the basis Z if I bought one separately?
It depends on the car, some car's OEM suspension design doesn't work with camber plates, so you need camber arms.
My manuel says the Flex Z is for off road use and not for Public roads.. so is it not safe for the streets? Thanks
Are all these choices fully threaded. I'm trying not to shorten the travel on the shock and spring
Are all TEIN made in Japan or only the more expensive ones?
Yup you got it! Flex Z and up are made in Japan, and the lower tier are MANUFACTURED in China and under TEIN control. It's not outsourced, they just have 2 buildings in China. Same quality just different employees in a different country.
Will the Street Advance Z work on a 2005 STI?
Yep! We have it in stock too: shop.redline360.com/products/tein-street-advance-z-coilovers-subaru-wrx-sti-05-07-gss66-9uss2
@@Redline360 do the coilovers come with the rubber and bearings?
I researched hella prices online and redline has the cheapest flex z suspension for my vehicle
How you meant to instal without no top mount
You would just remove your factory top mounts and move them over to the TEIN's.
can the Flex Z go up to the OEM height or does still drops a few inches?
Hey Michael. Check our site for the specific listing... some of them do go pretty close but most drop. It says the range on the site.
@@Redline360 Lowers 0.0" to 2.3" Front \ Lowers 0.2" to 3.4" Rear (does that means that front is same height as OEM and rear only drops 0.2" ? also do you have them on stock I cannot add them to the cart is out of stock)
@@MichaelStavropulos yep, correct :) This is per TEIN's data. If our site shows out of stock, then we don't have it.. .add your email to be notified when more are available - thanks!
is the Tein Basis Z height adjustable?
yes
I heard you can't go as low with the Basis Z, is that true?
Check out our site: shop.redline360.com and search for your car. We show the lowering ranges for each one.
which fit my Lexus IS200, maybe Advance Z, good choice?
Damping!!!
Flex z
1 year warranty is crap
I cant believe how Redline 360 site is set up...How do you not have the option to enter the type of vehicle then show related parts?? You expect customers to actually sit there and rifle thru god knows how many listings until we hopefully find the part? You are losing BIG MONEY!
We’re working on a shop by car feature now. But it’s easy, just search for your model and the part. For example, Accord Tein Basis. It’ll come up quick.
But do appreciate the feedback, we are working on that.
Flex Z made in China
Will these fit on a 2001 honda prelude?
A few of them will, check here: shop.redline360.com/search?q=prelude&_=pf&pf_pt_product_type=Coilovers
