Hi, I am planning a 1993 Nissan 240SX suspension set up. The coilovers I am researching are Tein Flex Damper. The website says the Front are 5 (kg i think) and the rear 4. I want to use the car for drifting at the track and using it as a daily driver. My friend says 5 and 4 are a bit soft. He recommends in between 6-10. What do you think? Thanks!

flex is a "carpet queen" coilover. Very soft valving and spring rates. If you plan on doing any autocross/drift/track use, do not get the flex.

HE = Good
