how's the type flex riding for you? it's quite stiff compared to the basics/ss.

i think the flexs are 670 front and 780 rear. and the basics/ss is 340 front and 450 rear.

car handles like a dream on smooth roads. any imperfection in the road causes mad issues. and mad bump stear. would never put these on a daily driver and or a car that does not wanna hit up a track. but thats just my opinion

thanks for the heads up.

I do find the basics stiff enough for basic road handling and the flexs looked delicious but they were double the stiffness so i was like hmmm.

but thanks again!

Very nice! I like the new look. Do you have any more pics of the exterior? Those ce28 really set the car off. Hope your swap goes well.
