Handles bumps well mate, some people moan about the ride being bumpy but I've been in starlets with jdm suspension and they are rock solid in comparison.

The seller has them up as Super Streets, I've PM'd him any way asking what they are.

I need some insight on the K Sports too. I can get them £50 cheaper and I believe they are more suitable for road use?

Heres some pics of the K Sports..

They've had little use and the seller is offering them for £400. The Teins are £450 delivered.

I need to decide asap to let both sellers know which ones I'm having!!

Cool, they've got pretty soft springs (in comparision to come coilovers) so I would expect them to be a bit more compiant over bumps. Your glanza sits at a nice height with them anyway.:)

I agree that the teins pictured seem to be the older type flex rather than super streets too.

Edit: Iim pretty sure the K sports are the same as the old D2's, ie very harsh!

Wallace is correct, don't get ksports the spring rates are too high for road use really.

Those teins arnt flex or superstreets, they are either TYPE HA or HR.

I've seen the bottom of stuarts flex's and it says Flex, where as if you flip that image you posted idrees 180 degrees and zoom in, it looks like Type H*

I think the best bet is to email the seller Idrees and ask him to look on the sticker. Its hard to tell exactly what it says, but CMR has a point, the flex range have a sticker marking on them.

Nah I have BC racing ones, they ride excellent and handle as well as stu's flex's tbh.. but yours sits lower than mine on springs and shocks lol. So if you want coilies to deck the car dont go for BC or Superstreets.

I think the HA has more dampening adjustments than the HR. Both were custom built though iirc, like you could pick your own spring rates etc..

Haha yeah its already low enough isn't it! Thanks for the info dude, I'll see what the seller says and get some more pics.

I've heard that one of the two (HA/HR) are not damper adjustable but don't know which is which.

Those coilovers are neither HR or HA! those coilovers had the old type locking rings on them, the ones Idrees is showing has the newer style. ;)

They're not mono flex as they're a different shade of green but are maybe type flex, the older ha's and hr's normally have the yellow/gold top mounts too.
