I got all my suspension bit yesterday and I unpacked them last night it was like christmas. The Tein Mono Flex are very nice looking coilovers they look extremely well made and ruggered. And the Cusco bits I got as well are heavy duty and also well made. Really looking forward to getting the gear in there.

Those coil overs certainly look the biz.

Nice to see cusco haven't changed the design of their castor arms in 5 years too :) They have a different boot to mine but otherwise look identical

Compared to the G4s I have seen they are chalk and cheese in quality...

Hey what is the go with those thin springs on the bottom of the rears. Is that to give it some kind of progressive feel?

they just hold the springs captive under full extension - mainly for noise reasons.

They'll be compressed flat under normal load.

That would make sense because they look way to thin to hold any load.
