2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer Flex Z Coilover Kit by Tein
FLEX Z inherits all the features and quality of STREET FLEX but the adoption of a new platform allows its price to be set at an amazingly low range. FLEX Z, of course, maintains the long-favored "Made in Yokohama" quality.
Full-length ride height adjustment system, used for FLEX Z, enables adjustment of ride height by adjusting the case length, without changing the damper stroke length and/or spring pre-load. This has the advantage that the change in ride quality is kept minimal when the height is adjusted. FLEX Z has ever-popular 16-level damping force adjustment. By turning the adjustment knob, damping force (stiffness) is adjusted linearly step by step, to change the ride and handling of the car to suit driver's needs/preferences. The Flex Z also includes an Electronic Damping Force Controller (EDFC), allowing drivers to make damping adjustments on the fly.
FLEX Z kit includes upper mounts exclusively designed for each vehicle model; either reinforced rubber mounts or pillow ball mounts. Upper mounts and lower brackets are coated with rich TEIN green powder paint. This powder paint has high coating film strength, is highly durable yet is low-pollution due to non-use of harmful solvent. After the shot blasting pre-treatment, the patented "2-layer/1-bake" treatment using anti-rust powder paint is applied for superior durability and high corrosion resistance.

The Flex Z came with all the proper upper mount component pre-assembled. I did not need to mess with transferring-over old components; saved a lot of time. Also, Tein has pre-set the upper two nuts/rings to achieve 1/3 droop & 2/3 compression ratio in the shocks, based on this vehicle chassis with one full tank of gas & no passengers. This is the typical configuration folks would show up at the track. --> Again, helped to significantly simplify the installation/setup process. (Skip the part where you'd remove the spring, mount the coilover, test full compression/extension, calculate droop/compression, etc etc etc...)
I installed my coilovers with 8-clicks damping setting (exactly halfway). The ride is firmer than stock, and still acceptable (not uncomfortable). On one particular highway on-ramp curve, my car's factory suspension would see the back-end bouncing if I took that curve at 55~60mph, with the Tein the back-end stays firmly planted at 60mph. Can't wait to take the car to next event in 2023 season.
Coilovers were installed on a 2013 Lancer SE (awd non-evo/ralliart). Very easy to install, clear instructions, and very easy to adjust. Night and day difference in handling and ride comfort compared to the stock suspension setup.
