The Bilsteins are as high quality an item as you can hope for. Unfortunately, the Bilsteins supplied as both OEM and aftermarket for the NA series are valved completely wrong for American roads.
If you wander over to Miata.net and peruse their suspension forum you'll probably find more accolades for re-valved Bilsteins than for Teins; it's simply a matter of audience. I doubt you'll be anything but thrilled by a set of FCM re-valves. I have a set and other than their lack of adjust-ability (which might actually be a plus) they're just about spot on. I haven't driven on Teins, so they're an unknown to me, though I've read mixed reviews of some of their lesser grades. I've never read a negative review of FCM re-valves. Another alternative are the Stewart Development re-valves for $700 a set of four. Here's the link: https://www.miataturbo.net/suspension-brakes-drivetrain-49/stewart-development-revalved-bilstein-group-buy-feeler-44328/ Reviews so far are very positive and I'll likely take this approach to my next suspension. Why? Because they're Bilsteins, they're custom valved for my particular setup and driving needs, and they're relatively affordable. |
Eddy at Adrenaline racing put a set of the Tein Monotubes in one of their cars recently. With ES hyperflex bushings that suspension is REALLY nice. Smooth on the street, way better damped than my older Tein RA's. He's running 10/6 for springs and it's just plain smooth and responsive. Very compliant.

Does any one know how low of a ride height you can get out of the monoflex? Tein says that they have equal adjustability but I have heard that the normal flex's go lower than what is shown on the spec sheet. any thoughts?

Now that I'm lower it for sure makes for some interesting driving. Luckily I have a 00 grand Cherokee for a DD. I Noe look ahead like a freaking mile for any hazzards. I only drive it if I know I'm only going on safe roads.

It's still driveable just have to pay more attention, and once I get my new rims it'll be a bit higher from that. Plus I think it's fun the way it is.
