    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.

    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

    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.

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.

    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.
