Tein 08-16 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (CZ4A) Flex Z Coilovers

The Flex Z coilovers from Tein feature a full-length adjustment system, allowing you to modify ride height without affecting spring preload. This is a notable design choice because it helps maintain consistent suspension travel and ensures the springs aren't compressed beyond their intended range, which can impact ride quality and handling. Built for the 2008-2016 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (CZ4A), these coilovers are designed to offer a significant improvement over stock suspension for drivers looking to dial in their car's stance and performance.

Tein's Flex Z series utilizes a twin-tube shock absorber design, which is known for its reliability and ability to provide a comfortable ride even with stiffer spring rates. The damping force is adjustable across 16 levels, giving you a wide range to tune the suspension for street driving, track days, or autocross. The upper mounts are typically integrated, often including pillow ball upper mounts for the front to allow for camber adjustment, which is crucial for optimizing tire contact during spirited driving. These coilovers are also built with durability in mind, using robust materials to withstand the rigors of performance driving.

When installing the Flex Z coilovers, you'll find they are designed as a direct replacement for your factory suspension components, simplifying the installation process. The kit includes all four coilovers, ready to bolt on. While the spring rates are pre-selected for a good balance of performance and comfort for the Evo X, you can further fine-tune the vehicle's handling characteristics with the extensive damping adjustments. This setup is a solid option for Evo X owners wanting to lower their vehicle and gain the ability to precisely control their suspension's response.
