Greddy TypeS Coilovers .vs Tein Flex Coilovers

I do love the EDFC option on the Tein Flex coilovers but if Greddy is better overall I could live without EDFC.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have the Greddy Type-S coilovers on my RX-8, and Tein SS-Ps on my Eclipse GSX. I am VERY happy with the build quality and with the handling/ride characteristics. It's a different coilover than what most people run, but it's been working great for me. You can always pick up higher spring rate springs through Greddy if you want to go into more hardcore racing and don't care about the ride.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions.

Awesome post mate, didnt really answer the question though.

If the topic was "whats the best coilover for the rx-8" then it might be more helpful.
