TEIN FLEX Z Coilover — HONDA — S2000

Overview

TEIN FLEX Z is a ride-height adjustable suspension system built around twin-tube construction for street-oriented comfort. Ride height is adjusted by changing the case length, so damper stroke and spring preload remain effectively unchanged — you can lower the car without giving up ride quality. Damping force adjusts over 16 levels, with compression and rebound turned together through a needle-valve knob, so ride and handling can be tuned to suit personal preference. FLEX Z is designed to balance a lowered stance, everyday comfort and adjustability, supplied as a complete kit of four shock absorbers and four springs.

Key Features

• Full-length ride height adjustment: ride height is adjusted by changing the case length, so damper stroke length and spring preload are effectively unchanged and ride quality stays stable when the height is adjusted.
• Twin-tube construction for street comfort: the twin-tube structure keeps the oil and gas chambers from being arranged serially, helping secure sufficient stroke, while low gas pressure keeps friction low for smooth movement over rough roads.
• 16-level damping force adjustment: compression and rebound are adjusted together in 16 linear steps using the needle-valve adjustment knob, to suit the driver's ride and handling preference.
• Vehicle-specific upper mount configuration: kits include upper mounts exclusively designed for the application — reinforced rubber mounts or pillow-ball mounts; some vehicle models use OE mounts. Pillow-ball front upper mounts for strut suspensions include a camber adjustment feature.
• Durable, corrosion-resistant construction: upper mounts and lower brackets carry TEIN green powder paint applied with a 2-layer/1-bake anti-rust treatment, and the shell case uses TEIN's ZTP coating for protection against chipping and rust.
• No-sag high-tensile springs: included springs are cold-formed from SAE9254 high-tensile steel (tensile strength 200 kgf/mm2 or over) and powder coated, for resistance to sagging and protection against chipping and peeling.
