i'm debating between tein HA, flex, and CS coilovers
is anyone using tein type CS (ie comfort spec) coilovers?
_i have searched_ and there are lots of people using tein HAs and tein Flex but i haven't seen anyone with tein type CS
for those who don't know what tein CS's are see this site for more info

reason i ask is there have been quite a few people with HAs and Flexs who have said it is too hard for daily driving even on the softest setting.
where i live the roads are _crap_ so what i'm trying to achieve is an electronically adjustable suspension that i can adjust from soft to hard from the cabin on the go.
the tein EDFC (electronic dampener force controller) allows you to do this and work with the CS, and Flex coilovers. some people have also been able to get it to work with HA coilovers.
- the _critical_ requirement for me is that at the softest setting i would like it to be as soft as stock, or pretty close to this softest, and at the hardest setting as hard as possible. my driving style fluctuates from daily driving to flat out (...i'm sure almost everyone who owns a supra drives like this too!!).
- my understanding is with tein HAs and Flex the softest setting is still a lot harder than stock. to me this seems like a waste of adjustabilitly if you use an EDFC as i would think the whole point of the EDFC in a street environment is to allow near instant adjusting between stock and hard, rather than hard and rock hard (which would be too harsh for street driving and so would never be used)
- btw i do not circuit race.
so to summarise my questions are
1) for street use in a daily driver that does NOT do track racing is tein HA, Flex or CS the most suitable
2) for those already using type HA or Flex what dampener setting do you use? ie how many clicks in softer or harder direction? [answering this will give me and others an idea as to how hard they are ie where the range of adjustments is - see diagram below]
3) if anyone is using an EDFC with the tein, does it keep the settings in memory when you turn your car off? there was a thread somewhere on this forum about someone who had to reenter the settings each time as the setting memory got erased each time car is turned off - i suspect this was just a bad install.
thanks for your help
below is how i see the adjustability range of tein coilovers...
