Your trolling is forgivable because you literally cannot fathom how good they are until you try them.

Savington is correct. To the OP, can you break down your cost for this conversion so we can make a better recomendation? FYI, the reason everyone says Xida is the simple fact that you are getting the performance of a 3.5k Moton for 2k, plus all the development and guess work is already done. The good thing about Tein is Emilio has done all the testing on those as well. He could actually give you the best feedback as he has run/sold all of the Tein combos.

I have the money for the re-valve and spring upgrade but if the Mono's are the way to go, then I'll sell my TT Flex (I have someone who claimed they would pick them up @ $850.00). So, the costs for either option are within $100.00 of each other.

I openly admit that I haven't tried em, and have said on numerous occasions that I'm more than open to the experience.

You two post "xida or death" in just about every suspension related thread, many completely unrelated, so I returned the favor.


I still <3 u both though:giggle:
Maybe someday soon I'll swing by SLO and have you show me in person.

I'm sure this has been answered elsewhere, but let's pretend I'm on Tein Flex's right now. Let's also pretend I'm a pretty fast driver and am getting my car close to its performance potential. What sort of gain would I see by moving to Xidas? I don't really care about ride comfort, it's a track car.

For argument's sake, let's say I run 1:59s at TWS on NT01s. Am I running 1:58s with the Xidas? 1:57s? Or is there a better way to benchmark it?

I guess I'm trying to determine what the best way to spend the money is if my ultimate goal is lower lap times.

P.S. Sorry to threadjack.

Actually for the valving that the Mono's come with, the 10/8 F/R split is just about perfect. They can handle a bit more spring, but the tracks I drive are not too smooth (except for LS) so having a bit of compliance isn't a bad thing.
