The wide adjustment range makes these coilovers suitable for daily drivers, weekend warriors, and dedicated track cars alike.
Adjustable Ride Height:
The Flex Z allows you to adjust ride height independently of spring preload. This means you can dial in your perfect stance without compromising suspension performance or ride quality. The adjustable height range allows for both subtle drops for daily driving and aggressive lowering for show cars.

The twin-tube damper design provides an excellent balance of performance and comfort. Twin-tube dampers are known for their comfortable ride quality while still providing excellent control during spirited driving. This makes the Flex Z ideal for street/track builds that need to perform well in both environments.
